    Tried this as per the documentation but it doesn't work. Not sure if I'm using it correctly or there's something I'm not doing.

    local background = Bitmap.new(Texture.new("bg.jpg", true, {wrap = Texture.REPEAT}))
    stage:addChild(background)

      This is how I do in my game in order to repeat the background image vertically:

      local text = Texture.new("images/roadmap.png", false, {wrap = Texture.REPEAT})
      local regi = TextureRegion.new(text, 0, 0, text:getWidth(), application:getDeviceHeight())

      local rmap = Bitmap.new(regi)
      self:addChild(rmap)

      I think that by replacing the "text:getWidth()" with "application:getDeviceWidth()" you will be able to produce the effect you want. For larger resolutions apply the appropriate width/height.

      @james23 yes and the other way would be:
      local texture = Texture.new("images/crate.png", true, {wrap = Texture.REPEAT})
local shape = Shape.new()
shape:setFillStyle(Shape.TEXTURE, texture) 
shape:moveTo(0,0)
shape:lineTo(application:getDeviceWidth(), 0)
shape:lineTo(application:getDeviceWidth(), application:getDeviceHeight())
shape:lineTo(0, application:getDeviceHeight())
shape:lineTo(0,0)
shape:endPath()
stage:addChild(shape)
      In this case the texture should be in ^2 size like 64x64px or 128x128px, etc
