      Hi Guys, i am trying to include a background image, entering the code below  in 'Stage' but no success

      what am i doing wrong?

       

      here's the code:

       

      $("$Stage").css("background=image"."url(images/loader.gif)"."background-repeat"."repeat")

       

      Can someone help me?

       

      Thanks you!

          There are a couple of things here.  First off, I'm not absolutely sure your reference to Stage will work.  I would probably just use sym.getStage().getSymbolElement() or something similar to get the jQuery handle.  Secondly, you need to make one .css() call per CSS value, as per the jQuery spec: http://api.jquery.com/css/

           

          So:

          sym.getStage().getSymbolElement().css("background-image", "blahblahblah.gif");

          sym.getStage().getSymbolElement().css("background-repeat", "repeat");

           

          Hope that helps!

            Thanks Elaine!

             

            i was trying a different route with:

             

            var vid = sym.$("bkgVIDEO");

            vid.html('<video src="_videos/splash_test.mp4" autoplay="yes" loop="yes" width="100%" overflow="hidden" type="video/mp4"></video>');

             

            this brings me very close to the promised land

            the only glitch is that the video occupy the entire width (YES!) but only about 60% of the height (NO!)

             

            i tried also including height="100%" but what happen was that the video were lowered a bit

            feels so close ...

             

            can you help me get the video 100% both height and width?

             

            Thank you.
