But if I afterwards enter another state ("state2") that is basedOn ("state1") then the background image dissapaers :-( To fix this I removed the following line: this.parent as UIComponent).setStyle( "backgroundImage", "" ); This line was of course there for a reason but it works for now. Perhaps this is related to Peters problem. Hi all,

I have been using the RepeatedBackground and it worked great until I started using it together with states:

If I first add a Canvas that uses RepeatedBackground i a new state (ie “state1″) that is not basedOn another state it works fine.
But if I afterwards enter another state (”state2″) that is basedOn (”state1″) then the background image dissapaers :-(

To fix this I removed the following line:
this.parent as UIComponent).setStyle( “backgroundImage”, “” );

This line was of course there for a reason but it works for now.
Perhaps this is related to Peters problem.

Or even create a large vector pattern as a clip, attach that behind a mask that resizes? What do you think the performance hit of redrawing a bitmap on resize would be?

Peter,

To do the specific Horizontal or Vertical repeating create copies of the RepeatedBackground class.

The RepatingImage component already does the repeatX and repeatY. To do the repeatX or repeatY using hte styles method (skin class, with backgroundImage) you would have to custom a skin class for both methods. Yeah, it was great to meet up with you to Jeremy.
