How do you make a color fade out into nothing?

im pretty sure its possibal… ive seen it alot. how whould i make a color, like in a circle or something, be black in the center and start to fade out as it goes out farther?

When you choose the fill color, make a gradient fill. If you want the color to fade to [null] then pick your solid color at the first slider, then on the second color set your alpha setting to 0 (zero) That should make the fill go from a solid color in the center to a transparent fill around the edge. I hope that made sense to ya. =)

do my tutorial “ray of light revisited” on www.kirupa.com. You’ll see on one of the last pages, images of both panels that you need open, and a brief description of the process.
