Nice! Are you using beginGradientFill or just doing it by hand?

It is just beginFill and it draws and then duplicates the same clip sideways, while slightly changing the color.

Well you should try with the gradient. A bit hard to use at first, but it totally kicks as$. It’s fairly well explained in the AS Dictionary.

Hmmm, I think I will do that sooner or later. I was looking at the beginGradientFill before and it looked too complicated, so I created a gradient myself out of rectangles…haha:P

I still have to get back to work on my 3D engine. I kind of left that for a while there.

Gradients ARE complicated. I didn’t get until someone explained them to me. Well, maybe a future AS trick or a tutorial…

And good luck with that 3D engine. 🙂 (that could be a nice tutorial to make too…)
