Hi all, I was hoping to get a little guidance from the AS pro’s. I have a movieClip that is 500x500 in one of my movies that I would like to add a tiled background to. This tile will be very simple something like 4x4. I have been reading up on the BitmapData class and figured this would be the best way to get this done and use up the smallest file size.

But I am not 100% understand if that is the best solution. Anyone have any thoughts? After reading up on full page flash movies I figured that method should be able to be applied to individual movieClips as well.
