Source files are updated, you can set width and height in setBitmap and loadBitmap methods, and use setSize when stage resizes.
thx

Hi Pieter, thanks for finding that, I don’t have dual screen

Well, then the only way i see u can set it right: is use stage resize event, and every time stage resizes u just redrew tile bg.

I will post new updated version as soon as I back home

Thanks for your class Armen.

I found a little drawback in a dual monitor setup, though. Stretching the browser window over two monitors crops the tiling. Capabilities.screenResolution returns the resolution of only one screen.

Hi Armen,

I was searching for a Tiling utility but couldn’t find one quickly, but I found your blog article.

I thought the tiling functionality might be improved by encapsulating it in a static class - hope you can find this useful, thanks for the article.

Dan.

package { import flash.display.BitmapData; import flash.display.DisplayObject; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.geom.Rectangle;


	public class GraphicUtil {
		public static function TileBitmap(tileLayer:Sprite, area:Rectangle, tile:BitmapData):Sprite{
			with(tileLayer.graphics){

				clear();

				beginBitmapFill(tile);

				moveTo(0, 0);

				lineTo(area.width, 0);

				lineTo(area.width, area.height);

				lineTo(0, area.height);

				lineTo(0, 0);

				endFill();

			}
			return tileLayer;

		}

} }

Hi Adrian.
If you use stage.stageWidth,for the full browser flash sites you have to take care of resizing. If new size bigger than prev one, you have to redraw background. Using Capabilities.screenResolutionX, Y- just sets max available size and skips checking for resizing.

Hi Armen,

Thanks for posting this.

Would it be better to use stageWidth rather than Capabilities.screenResolutionX?

_maxStageWidth = stage.stageWidth;
_maxStageHeight = stage.stageHeight;

Cheers,

Adrian
