You can apply gradients to text components dynamically.
Take a look at DisplayObject.filters and flash.filters. It effectively turns a display object into a Bitmap behind the scenes and applies the filter you have applied. Gk.

Hi! My designer just asked me if I could apply gradients to dynamic text in Flex (for example on a Label component) I've searched the net and this forum and couldnt find any info whether it's even feasible or not. I checked the Label component source and it seems the part that draws the text is in Flash libraries that we don't have access to.. and also I had never realized that before but the Graphics class doesn't have a drawText method... Thank you!! Louis
