I want to change the the gradient colors with actionscript, the demo file has en example of it but it all goes black.

This is in the demo file

initObj.gradColors= new Object();
initObj.gradColors.color=("#c62f38","#5C407A");
initObj.gradColors.alpha=("100","100");
initObj.gradColors.ratio="90";

But this is in the flash help panel

initObj.gradString = "3039231,100,1.27516753743,100,255";

None of them work, it's just black.

Every thing else work just great.

It's a great component.

But please tell me what to do with the color problem

Thanks up front

Hello Christian


Indeed there was an error in the demo file.

Here is the correction
Replace the code:

initObj.gradColors= new Object();
initObj.gradColors.color=("#c62f38","#5C407A");
initObj.gradColors.alpha=("100","100");
initObj.gradColors.ratio="90";

with this code:

initObj.gradType = "Gradient";
initObj.gradString = "0x0000FF,100,0/0xFF0000,100,255";
initObj.gradAngle = 90;

The gradString variable works as an array of object which are separated by the /?, then every part of the string has elements separated by coma ,? The first elements represents the color value (hexa or decimal 0x0000FF is same as 255) , the second element represents the alpha value and the third element represents the color ratio. For more information on these check the beginGradientFill function in the Adobe Flash Help.

I hope this helped you and thanks for the feedback on our product.
Enjoy using it .
