Hey Guys!

I have written this code. The ultimate purpose of which is to generate a circle where the interior is of 50% alpha, and the outside is 100% alpha. Should be simple.

```auto
this.graphics.clear();
this.graphics.lineStyle(0,0x000000,0);
this.graphics.beginGradientFill(GradientType.LINEAR,[0xFFFFFF,0x000000],[1,0.5],[0,255]);
this.graphics.drawCircle(275,200,150);
this.graphics.endFill();

```

Instead, when this code is run, I have a mildly greyish circle.

Does anyone here have any suggestions?
