Reflecting a movieclip :S

hi all.

im trying to get an effect working where i have a movieclip on stage which is reflected dynamically. Then i wish for the reflected movieclip to have a fading gradient.

(like the effect that can be seen at: http://www.tutorial9.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/environment-reflection.jpg)

So far i can dynamically reflect the movieclip by using the code:

mc.duplicateMovieClip(“mc1”, 1, {_yscale: -100, _y:(mc._y+380), _alpha:40});

I am having a great difficulty in finding out how to apply a gradient to this reflected movieclip

as always guys, thanks in advance for any help
