I am tween-challenged so other than that I can’t help you much, sorry.

well thankyou lostinbeta
but do if you see your footer…at the mouth of the champagne bottle you see the gradient … can this be done in flash

No, I don’t believe that exact effect can be done in Flash, but if you go to Window/Panels/Color Mixer (Or something like that, the location is different in Flash MX which is what I use, but I think I remember hearing that in Flash 5 is under Window/panels), then you choose gradient from the drop down you can try and make your own custom gradient.

I believe David has a tutorial on an effect similar to the one you’re talking about :slight_smile:

edit
