Hey, is there any way to use flashes new Color () method to change colors in a gradient?

I have a fire effect using a three part gradient, and I’d love to be able to change the color of the fire dynamically through actionscript.

Is this possible, even using a different method?

Thanks in advance,

If you use the drawing API you can use beginGradientFill()

Other than that… nope, sorry.

Thanks beta.

I don’t know if I can use this in my project and have the time be worth it, but it’s good to learn anyways.

God i love flash 😛

Thanks again!
