Right now I just have a single color as its background via
textarea.setStyle("backgroundColor", "0xe3ecca")
However, is it possible to say, create a gradient (the only way I know how to do so is with the beginGradientFill that you use while using the drawing API) as a variable and then apply that as the background to the TextArea component somehow?
I'm trying to create spinning rays in actionscript to use in my website.Below is the rough idea of what i'm trying to create.Is it possible to create absolutely with 0 images.Following is the actionscript code in which i couldn't figure out how to add gradient, transperant background and little radial gradient to create glow effect.
Code:
function CreateRays():Shape {
var ray:Shape = new Shape();
ray.graphics.beginFill(0xFF9900,.5);
ray.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF9900,.5);
[code]....
If you paste above code in 1st frame of your scene with nothing on your scene, it will give you sweet rotating rays!
I was wondering if abybody knows how to apply gradient fill using ActionScript (I need to change it when some event accrues). Is it possible at all?

I've got a question about a swf that needs to be opaque. I've got a gradient fill in the .swf that creates a nice background. But I want to import this file in a flash/xml website and the file has to be opaque in order to work properly.
This is the code:

import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.display.GradientType;
import flash.display.SpreadMethod;
import flash.display.InterpolationMethod;

I have a graphic symbol of a circle that has a radial gradient fill of yellow to red. All I want to do is have it change from yellow to red to red to yellow. I tried the advanced color settings but that doesnt quite do what I want. With the color settings.. it changes the complete tint of the object. I want it to look like it is tweening the gradient not the object. So if the object had a yellow center with a red outer edge I want it to chenge to a red center with a yellow outer edge. How do I accomplish this?
View 1 Replieslet's say i have this object on stage and it is called myShape and i want to manipulate it via action-script and apply a gradient color to it .. no if it is a fill color i could have used the colortransform method but i don't think that it will work ..
import flash.geom.*
import flash.display.*
var fillType:String = GradientType.LINEAR;[code]........
now when i test this i don't get any errors but i doesn't apply any thing ..
I am trying to fill a movieclip with a gradient going from black to white. Below is my code, which doesn't work:
View 1 RepliesBasically I redraw a circular object ("moon") every frame, reposition it and rotate it. I want a gradient fill that's offset to the left (-x) by the circle's radius. Instead of wasting your time talking about what I think it might be, I'll just show you the code . . .
For simplicity's sake, I've changed the colors to blue, red, green (in that order). Only the last one's showing up. I've tweaked the vales in the matrix itself for hours, but I can't really change anything. I can get the gradient fill to center on the circle, but that's the best I've done so far . . .

Is there a way to customize / influence / set a gradient fill for an object?
I want to have a gradient background take on different colors depending on an input value... If there is a way, then an explanation / example would be nice... if not, I'll just put a semi-transparent object infront of a black-to-white gradient and assign a solid color to it..
I'm trying to draw a gradient in Flash using beginGradientFill and drawRect, but when the rect being drawn is partially outside the bounds of the parent, the gradient isn't drawn at all.
For example, consider the code below:
function testGradient():void {
var g:Graphics = container.graphics;
var width:Number = container.width;
var height:Number = container.height;
[Code] .....
When the rectangle being drawn lies within the bounds of container, everything works: However, if the rectangle lies outside of the bounds of the container, the gradient isn't drawn at all. For example, if the code is changed to:
...
var x:Number = 10;
var y:Number = 10;
...
Then the gradient disappears: Short of doing the math required to draw the box inside the bounds of the parent (and fixing up the gradient so it looks correct), is there any way to deal with this?
When doing a gradient fill on an area chart, the gradient ratios are used only between the min and max of the chart. The area below the min is then filled with the last color in the gradient.
To make sure that it was using the ratios only between the min and max I inserted a zero (0) into the chart and the gradient expanded to the full height. I also checked the gradient values by creating a with the gradient fill.
How do i get the ratios to be effective through the entire fill not just between the min and max?
I intend to apply a linear gradient via actionscript to an image (.png) with transparent areas. Of course, I previously converted this image to a movieclip. So I actually want to apply the gradient fill to the container movieclip, which has the instance name of "flower". Here's the code:

I'm attempting to create a color wheel component in Flex 4 that will allow me to represent RGB and HSL data.I'm doing so with a circular color wheel representing the various hues available to me and a rectangular gradient in the center of that which will represent the lightness and saturation fields
Currently I have the objects represented but I cannot determine the best way to fill them in. I have no problem creating the gradient necessary in the center square, but I cannot get the outer ring to build a -circular- gradient. It seems the only two native gradients in flex are linear and radial, but I need the gradient to linearly follow the path around the ellipse. How would I make this possible?
Here's the attempt I've made thus far:
<s:Group>
<s:Ellipse x="7" y="7" width="136" height="136">
<s:stroke>
<s:LinearGradientStroke weight="14">

We have a TextArea that is created dynamically reading in XML data with the textFormat set to Arial font as the default. When we publish it the font tag for a subscript and superscript fonts is not displaying even though we have embedded the fonts. It displays
properly if the font is installed.
Is there a way to get a TextArea to automatically scroll down when text is added to it?I have had a look around but havent found anything that works.
View 2 RepliesThe scroll policy for the textArea component appears to be "auto", and that works just fine.However, I want to be able to turn it off in certain situations, i.e., not have the scroll bar appear.I do the following which I thought would turn it off but the scroll bar still shows up.
Code Snippet:
myTF = new TextFormat("Arial", 10, 0xFFFFFF,false);
myText_mc.myTextArea.setStyle("textFormat", myTF);
myText_mc.myTextArea.verticalScrollPolicy = "OFF";
myText_mc.myTextArea.horizontalScrollPolicy = "OFF";

I have a TextArea component instantiated and added to the display list programmatically via ActionScript 3 code (not AS2, which is all I could find reference to on the net about this).
How to disable the border so it doesn't show around the TextArea component? I've tried a bunch of things, like for example:
myTextArea.setStyle("border", "false");
and
myTextArea.setStyle("borderStyle", "none");
I'm using the textArea component, but i want to scale it to the size of the browser window. The problem is it scale the content(xml+css) and the scrollbar, and i want to just change the size. I've also tried to attach the Component and then setting the size, but that give the same problem.
View 3 RepliesI have got an array full of strings and I want to populate the elements into dynamically created textarea components. I have seen "this []" syntax used to dynamically create arrays, but I can not get something similar to work for text area components.

for (var i:int = 0; i < aActivities.length; i++) {

this["taNode_" + i].move(20,50 + (10*i));
this["taNode_" + i].height=26;
this["taNode_" + i].text=aActivities[i];
addChild(this["taNode_" + i]);
}

"1180: Call to a possibly undefined method TextArea."
I do have an instance of a textarea in my Library as I know you have to for things like data grid.
