Flash MX 2004 Basic Question
Ok, so I've been learning some Flash for a while now.
Up until now I've been focusing on integrating it with dynamic database driven data via having it talk transparently to my asp.net back end.
I'm trying to get a handle on improving my graphics skills now.
I have a question about linear gradiant fills.
How do I set the angle?
By default the gradient effect seems to draw horizontally.
But what if I want it to draw vertically, or at an angle?
So far all I've figured out is to draw my object as if i wanted the gradient to draw horizontally, then rotate it.
One of my books says that you can set the angle of a gradient fill but doesn't say how and I can't seem to find a panel that will let me do that. I figure the field should be in the color mixer but I don't see any ability to specify an angle.
