Hello, has anyone seen any examples of an actionscript rainbow gradient on a curve?

they have a pretty good example of how to use the beginGradientFill function in the help files. to create the curve, just create two curves and close them with 2 lines or whatever.

I never took the time to understand how that gradient function worked cause it looked too complex, but i’m sure it’s pretty powerful.

oh…well i can’t help you there, sorry. ☹

i don’t think it’s even possible outside of flash, without a little shape manipulation.

Thats cool, I just got interested in this like three days ago, and here somebody posts about it!! I ended up finding enough info to put this together. Let me know if it helps. Its pretty complicated.

also I didnt really label anything all that clearly… sorry 🙂

that’s a pretty nice file 🙂

I too didn’t bother experimenting with beginGradientFill just for the fact that it seemed somewhat too complex… 😛
