I have a picture that I made in photoshop, its 6px by 6px. What I wana do is take this little picture, and duplicate it a bunch of times to make it the background texture in part of my flash movie. The section I want this to fill is 770px by 200px. I know I saw tutorials on Kirupa about making the snow and I know it duplicates stuff but I don’t want this picture to move like that. Is there a way to do this?

import the image in the library, select the paint bucket tool, open the color mixer and select “bitmap” for the fill, here you go ! 😉
