Using graphic images for navigation tabs

I'm trying to use an image of a tab for the main navigation tabs. You use a repeated field for the nav tabs, and I need the images to flow continuously from one repetition to the next. The images have lines that I want to appear to be continuous.
The repeated fields have a small gap between the values. Is there a way to remove that gap? I tried removing the borders around the fields and made sure there is no lines between repeating values.

Thanks.

If I'm following you correctly you won't be able to remove the small gap between repeating fields unless you make each repetition a separate object:

Tab1 = Start at repetition 1, show 1.
Tab2 = Start at repetition 2, show 1.
Tab3 = Start at repetition 3, show 1.

Using this method you can overlap the tabs enough that they appear continuous. Turns out this isn't all that bad since we have to make the actual button objects this way anyway. (That is, for three tabs we need three separate button objects, regardless of how we draw the tabs themselves.)
