How to make a tiled background with Flash
Create a new document by clicking <File-New>, and click <Modify-Document> to set the canvas size to 500X500. You can leave everything else to its default value.
Change the stroke color to NONE
Create a square with the rectangle tool. Select the square and change its dimension to 100×100. This is going to be the area that you are going to work on your patterns
Select the square and convert it into a symbol by pressing F8.
Go back to scene 1 and duplicate the square symbol that you have just created and arrange them next to each other until the whole canvas is filled up. ( I changed the color of the square symbol to illustrate that they are actually aligned next to each other)
Right click on any of the squares and choose <Edit in New Window> and place the two windows side by side. This way you can start filing the symbol with your own pattern design and at the same time you are able view what the final pattern look like in real time!
I am going to change the background color to blue and draw some cute little flowers in the middle.
Once it’s done, while keeping the symbol editing window active, go to <File-Export-Export Image> and choose <minimum image area>in the drop down menu, you can leave the rest of the settings to default. You can also choose to export the tiled 500×500 as the final image by keeping that window active during the exporting process
I use this pattern as a background for a character designed by me. His name is Qoobee. Isn’t he cute!! And I’m sure you can do the same!
