<h1>Description</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
If you want to make a starfield or other easy tiled background, this is  YOUR command. All you have to do is specify the image handle (an image loaded  with the LoadImage or LoadAnimImage command). Optionally, you can  specify a starting x and y location, as well as an optional frame. You can milk  some serious parallax effects with a simple imagestrip with a couple of various  starfields and the TileImage command.
