my first time trying to draw a multi-color gradient in actionscript 3. So I got this code from the help docs, but I can't seem to get a vertical gradient, whatever formula or number I use for rotate, it stays stuck on the default horizontal gradient :(

I'm wondering if it's possible to create dynamic text field with a gradient color.
View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic textfield that displays different text. What I want is the ability to control both the text color and the background color of the textfield.
View 1 Repliesmake a 4 color gradient, a separate color on each corner?
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a text editor and I want users to be able to select only part of a textfield and change the color.The problem I'm running into is the ColorPicker gains focus (I'm guessing) and the textfield loses it's "selection."All examples of text editing show the entire textfield changing color.
View 1 RepliesI am looking for a way to change the background color in a text field, except not change the background color of the whole textfield, just the color behind the characters.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to style text in a dynamic text field with a background color (not the whole textfield background, but just of the text - like the effect when you select it). My textfield is on top of a photo, which might explain why I'm trying to do this.
View 1 RepliesSay I have a class that extends TextField and I want to have it set a default text color to black (0x000000) when initiated. Easy enough. But then say, when the XML finishes loading and the user has decided to change the color of that textfield to red (0xFF0000), what would be the easiest way to change the text color of that field? The only way I can think to do it is to change the textformat color via public method? Would this be correct or is there an easier way?

I want to make a full screen flash in html, its all works well until the background problem...
i want to make a gradient background and flash only allowed me to use solid color for the stage. how do i change the color to become gradient so it will looks nice in full screen?
how to set up 2 pre selected colors to tween a gradient to instead of "random" ones. My Goal would be to use this class as a dynamic background creater and i would like to have different gradient backgrounds on different pages.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if there was anyway of changing the internal colour of an mc to a gradient?
View 3 Replieswhy do my gradient color doesn't work as mask?
I thought I can use the gradient color to assign a different opacity level to my mask. isn't correct ?
It just works as a normal mask...
I have a movicelip that has a cirlce with a gradient fill. When I rollover I use a color transform to change the color. I'm not sure how to get the color transform to return to its original gradient fill once I roll out of the movieclip
var overColor:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform;overColor.color = 0xffcc00;
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonOver);
function buttonOver(e:MouseEvent):void{ mc1.transform.colorTransform = overColor;}
I am trying to construct a line dynamically, with a start and end gradient. I want to avoid using a GradientBox, as the lines are dynamic. All I want to do is have the line start red, end blue. This code does not work though :(

I am trying to set the gradient background color for my panel via skins. I try to change my code but nothing seems to change. Not sure what to do.
My skin file
/<!-- layer 2: background fill --/>
<!--- Defines the appearance of the PanelSkin class's background. -->
<s:Rect id="background" left="1" top="1" right="1" bottom="1">

I use the following code to change the color of a gradient logo:
var myColor:Color = new Color(logo_mc);
myColor.setTransform({ra:100, rb:0, ga:100, gb:0, ba:100, bb:0});
Playing around with Fireworks, however, I found out that if I were to increase HUE from 0 to 121 the logo would look much better. how to modify the object {ra:100, rb:0, ga:100, gb:0, ba:100, bb:0} to reflect a HUE increase of 121 points?
For a project I'm working on I'm trying to create a Flash file with a constantly color-shifting gradient that fills up the entire browser window. For a better explanation please see the following link:

Don't worry about the moving balls, those are just there to challenge the frameRate of the movie, which has a maximum of 60. If you look at the background you can see the gradient effect I'm referring to.
The method I'm currently using to create the gradient animation is a simple shape tween on the Flash timeline that tweens between shapes with different gradient colors. I'm definitely not achieving the performance I want using this technique.
I've also tried creating a static gradient and shifting its color over time using ColorTransform, but this doesn't offer any better performance.
So that's a long-winded way of asking what people think would be a better way to create such a color-shifting gradient while getting better performance? Some examples might be through bitmapData or using PixelBender, but I'm not versed enough in these techniques to know which would get me the best performance.
Is it possible to apply a dynamically created gradient mask on a textfield in flex?
View 2 RepliesI'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">

I am looking to change the background color of a input textField when the user selects that testfield to start populating it. I have done a bunch of searching and I keep coming up with this type of answer...
Code:
myTextField.onSetFocus = Set(evt:Event){
// Change color
}
Problems...
1) Is onSetFocus/onKillFocus still available? From what I can tell it is not.
2) I have my text objects encapsulasted in a class so I do not believe I am able to do it like I have been suggested.
Is it possible to create gradient text with text in a text field, without using a different object?
I have three text fields sitting right next to each other, to create a row. Some times the text is longer than the width of the text field, I don't want to widen the the text field to make it fit, I just want to fade the last 20 - 50 pixels of the text out.
Is this possible to do without using an object above it, such as a gradient?
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 made a gradient glow within the FLASH IDE on one of my textfields. I was wondering if there is a way to change the glow in as3? Apparently you can not change the glow in the flash IDE. It has to be white/black gradient.

anyone has ideas for defining a linear gradient?? i've researched and try somethings but this is really not my field, and I seem to keep failing.
We need to show transparency (around 70%) in the text in textarea and other components in Flex 3.5 SDK. I checked up and found these: I could use an embeded font (only ttf) and make it transparent. Now as per client requirement we have to use different sizes of Verdana only. Even If I download Verdana font in ttf format then how will I make it transparent? Using gradient boxes around the text - I found a link but this seems a heavy procedure.
