A single tiledbackground is not the best of ways to go I think.

In my example it works because the texture is power of 2 (128) and the WindowWidth is too.
If your texture file (the one you "feed" the TiledBackground) is power of two and the WindowHeight is too, it should work "seamlessly".
Make sure the height of your tiledbackground matches the WindowHeight and you should have it.

thanks for the reply!
but, i'm trying to get it to work on the y axis. taking two of my tiled backgrounds and mashing them together does not form a seamless background, i think thats wat is happening in kyatrics file.
is there a way to do this with a single background file

How would I do a infinitely scrolling tiled background? I have set a bullet property to the background and a wrap property but the background does not wrap until the whole thing is off screen.

Thanks in advance!
