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 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 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 RepliesHow 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??

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 1 RepliesThis 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'm building a video player for my own use and I'm drawing all graphics with AS3. I've attached a screen shot of this problem, and the code. I'm keeping this brief because I think the solution should be simple but I can't find it after a few days of tinkering. You will see from the attached screen shot, I hope, that the video shell base which is 1000 x 100 pixels is not perfectly smooth. And it would be nice and smooth if I drew the graphic in Flash and just built a simple movie clip. But with the graphic drawn with AS3, there's lots of horizontal artefacting. How do I get rid of all the horizontal artefacting lines in the code gradient? The only solution I can find is adding blur with Tween Lite. Which I've turned off, reducing X & Y blurr to zero. But shouldn't it be possible to get a perfectly smooth gradient WITHOUT dozens of horizontal artefacting lines and without having to use a blur from a Tweener engine? I've tinkered with the hexadecimal colour values and increasing and decreaing the Array to more and less colors. The aretfacting persists.
private function M1 ():void {
// Matrix and shape of video shell and gradient
var type:String = GradientType.LINEAR;

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

mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonOver);
function buttonOver(e:MouseEvent):void{ mc1.transform.colorTransform = overColor;}

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?
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">

View 1 RepliesI'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?
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 1 RepliesI am trying to skew an spark Image object using a matrix. The problem I am having is that it only effects the top angle. I think it may be related to the position of the image (x and y). The top angle is prefect but the bottom is flat!
Here is a bit of code:
//imgA = pixles down from top left coord, I used arctan with oposite over adjacent to get a radian angle
//size
openImage.width = imgW; //say 200
openImage.height = imgH; //say like 300
