I am trying to tile a 5x5 bitmap 160 times in height which will come to 800 and 120 in width which is 600.

Here is the code that doesn’t work:

gridx=5;  
for (var i=0;i \< 160;i++)  
{  
background.duplicateMovieClip(“background”+i,i);  
mc=this[“background”+i];  
mc.\_x=gridx_i;  
}  
dot.\_visible=0;  
gridx=0;  
gridy=120;  
num=0;  
for (var i=0;i \< 160;i++)  
{  
for (var j=0;j \< 5;j++)  
{  
background.duplicateMovieClip(“background”+num,num);  
mc=this[“background”+num];  
mc.\_x=gridx_i;  
mc.\_y=gridy\*j;  
num++;  
}  
}  
background.\_visible=0;

I am pretty sure this code I changed is as messsed up as possible. :sigh:

Thanks in Advanced

It’ll perform the same function with abandon… what’s the limit, 200,000 times?
