"Repeat Background" doesn't work when the background has more than one frame.

"Repeat Background" doesn't work when the background has more than one frame.

I need this feature for the new game I am making.

Please, fix it.

Merged in b8862.

I had completely forgotten that I already reported this bug a few months ago, sorry.

Thanks a lot for fixing it.

[LIBERADO]

I can't verify the fix because the new Build 8862 doesn't compile any game. After installing it, now I can't test any game because Stencyl always throws an error.

I have reported this issue as a new bug:
http://community.stencyl.com/index.php?issue=189.0

Please, fix it.

This feature does not yet work on mobile devices.

In Flash it works, but it alters the colors of the original background image. Pure white (255,255,255) is shown as (254,254,254) when testing. Pure red (255,0,0) is shown as (255,1,1) when testing.

On mobile devices it does not work at all. When testing on Android, the screen remains black for one second only and the game closes immediately.

For example, this simple animated background (imported at 4x) does not work on Android:

<a href="http://static.stencyl.com/games/33250-0.swf" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://static.stencyl.com/games/33250-0.swf</a>

I reported this bug because I need to use it in mobile games.

Please, fix it.

Now tested with different image sizes, and this feature does not work on Android.

I've posted a pull request in order to get this to work for mobile. It was something really basic (and I also realised I was doing something unneccessary).

[captaincomic]

Thanks! I merged your pull request. Build 8990.

Hmm this is still no good, at least for me. I get about 2-3fps for a few seconds then game just crashes. (Rest of the game runs smoothly)
Using build 8990, Galaxy s6

I have the same problem. I get a very low fps and an irregular movement when there is some actor moving in the screen, even if there is one actor only, the game becomes unplayable on Android.

[letmethink]

Okay. Time to look at it again. It's possible I just messed up sending the pull request.

[letmethink]

I've posted a new pull request to change the way in which they are rendered by Stencyl to improve performance.

[captaincomic]

Merged in 8991.

Now it seems to work with good performance.
This feature can significantly enhance the graphical beauty of the games.
Thanks for fixing it.

Can confirm, working great, much appreciated!
