[Liquid Area, Gaia and multiple backgrounds]

I still don't know the fix but I have isolated the problem somewhat. Liquid Area does not like the variable "newBG" coming from the switch statement.

If I replace newBG in this line "area.attach(newBG, ScaleMode.PROPORTIONAL_OUTSIDE);" with one of the other variables bg1, bg2... then it works fine..

Of course this ignores the switch.

I'll see if I can put a single file together to simulate the problem .... doing it with Gaia will still require lots of files.

[Liquid Area, Gaia and multiple backgrounds]

I gave the extra time and releasing shot but I didn't get a difference in the background.

The background is not resizing and filling the stage like it should. Even the very first background doesn't re-size.

[Liquid Area, Gaia and multiple backgrounds]

I have a Gaia flash file that I'm trying to change backgrounds for each page. The background itself changes nicely but I'm having a problem getting the background to scale to the stage size. I'm trying to use Liquid Area to try and handle it and it does well with a single background but as soon as I introduced more my code choked..

Thanks
