morse i had no idea u were that good in PS. Anyway, can u tell me how u did that gradient on a curve. Its on a layer by itself. It is the one that highlights the top part. Can you tell me how you made the gradient even on the curve? Thanks Mike ---

simplistik what do u mean outer bevel and feather? I am talking about the gradient he did. Look at his source file. Do you see the layer where it is just a gradient (no blending modes). I just want to know how he made a gradient go along a curve evenly. THanks Mike ---

Oh, “Layer 3” in set 1? That’s actually just straight across the top, a gradient. ---

An update on my Flash/vector version. Thanks go to the Gradient tool, Soften Fill Edges, and Convert Lines to Fills. ---

[Here’s the FLA.](http://www.jimsite.com/tracer.fla.zip) It’s good to know these things are possible in Flash. This way the bevels can morph in through tweens, the transparent “glazing” can slide down like a lizard’s clear eyelids, whatever. This exercise proves to myself that shaped gradients are do-able, even though they’re not gradients, just softened edges. In Photoshop you could Copy the style from the layer. Unfortunately in Flash it’s gotta be done by hand each time. I’m mostly a photoshop guy, but drawing is drawing. [Previous page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/challenge-rr-com-nav/56852.md?page=2)
