How to create vertical gradient in flex. What i currently have is a horizontal color gradient. And its working fine. But I am unable to figure out how should I make it vertical (which ofcourse is the requirement)I use styleName = "chatWindowLeftGradient".[code]This give a gradient from top to bottom. How i can make from left to right??
View 3 Repliesmy 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 am trying create a new background as vertical gradient. but i can not find such a option. only horizontal gradient in Flash CS3 ?
View 1 RepliesI'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!
This seems to be a very straight forward thing to do and there are loads of tutorials about the subject. None of them are helping me get this right though, and I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. I'm trying to create a simple Flash AS3 GUI component that has a vertical gradient. I create the sprite, and draw the gradient with beginGradientFill and a matrix with a 90 degree radian angle on it. If you look at this output, you see that its not creating a black to white vertical gradient.

I need to create a custom y-axis in a columnChart that resembles a tall / skinny VBox (sorry can't post pictures) and has the axis labels (20, 40, 60, 80, 100) inside the axis.By default, the y-axis is a line and I have found methods of making the line thicker but I need the labels inside the axis.I have tried using the AxisRenderer class but can not find any good examples on the proper use.

Then I changed some data values to negative and my axis became not aligned anymore.
how to align vertical axis? Is this another Adobe bug or there is some property that aligns axis?

I've been trying to learn just now how to dynamically create a radial gradient in a circle. All the pages that I can find use the command 'beginGradientFill', but when I use it I get the following messages:
Warning: 1060: Migration issue: The method beginGradientFill is no longer supported. For more information, see the Graphics class..
and
TypeError: Error #1006: beginGradientFill is not a function.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find the replacement, or any other pages that describe an alternative to that function. What is the way to do a radial gradient now?
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.
I'm wondering if it's possible to create dynamic text field with a gradient color.

View 2 RepliesI am new to Flash and trying to create a vertical slider bar that will return a ratio between 0 and 1, change color while doing so, and display the resulting ratio on the side of the slider as you drag. Everything works except for the dynamic text box displaying the "ratio." I want the text box to be invisible until you drag, then display at about 70% alpha when you drag, and go back to invisible when you release (because of the 70% alpha I have decided not to use the "visible" property).
I have attempted to use the _alpha command to accomplish the above, but the actionscript appears to ignore and just display the text box at 100% alpha. I have put the dynamic textbox in a movie clip, but still can't make it work. Could I accomplish this with a rollover button covering the entire slider?
I have posted the .fla file here for your review; can anyone let me know where I'm going wrong?[URL]..
I am trying to create Vertical scrolling images. I found a tutorial using AS 3.0, used that, but made a couple of alterations - like I did not want the images centered on the stage and I added more images than what the tutorial showed. As a result I have several errors in the Actionscript.
View 13 RepliesI'm trying to create a Vertical scrolling xml menu. This menu is based on [URL] "Creating 3D Carousels tutorial"
This is my code
Select all
var Items:Number;
var xml:XML = new XML ();
xml.onLoad = function () {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("mc_Control", this.getNextHighestDepth ());
mc_Control._x = 0;
mc_Control._y = 0;

My problem is when I add a new item in the xml file, I can't see it in the .swf file. My xml file have 37 items. I only see 24 buttons! in the .swf file and I' m stuck at this point my buttons have 26 px (_height).
I've tried to use the "Simple Custom Scrollbar" tutorial to create a horizontal scrollbar instead of the vertical. I've changed the defenitions like this:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollWidth:Number = scrollTrack._Width;
var contentWidth:Number = contentMain._Width;
[Code]....
I put the "Width" instead of the "height", and "x" instead of "y". What I've got is when I push on the "scrollFace" button it slides but disappears immidietly, and the the image (which is "movieclip" as well) beneath the masked area freezes.
* In addition - I have to make this scrollbar move from right to left - Is there any additional defenitions I must concern?

View 7 RepliesAny tutorial for a simple vertical navigation menu with a submenu. Like a drop down menu but vertical where the main links are on the left and the submenues come out the right side of the menu. I don't need any bells and whistles and I am just learning so it doesn't need anything but a button link when rolled over more link options appear to the right. Is there a tutorial that is not a place trying to sell me this capability and actually works (CS3), no errors, broken links etc...just a how to for a simple menu with submenus.
View 1 RepliesI was going to attempt to create a vertical accordion menu with a genie effect this week.So it'll be like your normal text based accordion menu but the entries will shrink and grow depending on where your mouse is.I've never ever seen this specific type of menu before and I'd quite like to get a look at one to visualize how it should behave.
View 7 RepliesIn my original Flash/AS3 application I had a Sprite acting as a background. I put it underneath all other DisplayObjects and fill it with a linear gradient of random color. It looked good and seemed to work well with Flash Components (Buttons, Checkboxes, TexFields), because they are transparent.
So in my new Flex program (with BasicLayout), I've tried creating a Rect too:
<s:Rect left="0" top="0" right="0" bottom="0">
<s:stroke>
<s:LinearGradientStroke id="_bgcolor" rotation="90" weight="1">
[Code]....
But this doesn't work well, the Rect is obscured by the other Flex components:
Is there a quick way of adding a backround gradient to a Flex application (something as simple as backgroundColor="#CCCCCC") or do I have to study "skinning docs" (and will skinning of an Application help here, since the problem seems to be that the Flex components are opaque?)

I'm trying to programmatically(yep, must be this way) style/skin a VBox so that its top right corner is rounded, and it gets a two colors gradient brackground.
Modifying examples I found around I was able to accomplish both effects(corner and background) but only separately:
VBox with not all rounded corners: [URL]
VBox with gradient background: [URL]
But what I need to do is to apply both at the same time. And all my coding attempts so far have failed silently.
