[flexcoders] Create angle, reflected, diamond gradient using actionscript
Question Create angle, reflected, diamond gradient using actionscript Hi, As you know, in Graphics class there is beginGradientFill method to draw gradient: beginGradientFill(type:String, colors:Array, alphas:Array, ratios:Array, matrix:Matrix = null, spreadMethod:String = pad, interpolationMethod:String = rgb, focalPointRatio:Number = 0):void I saw that the first parameter type:String only have two values: linear or radial. In photoshop, beside theses there are angle, reflected, diamond gradient type also. So which class (or libraries etc) I can use in order to create angle, reflected, diamond gradient using fully actionscript? Or angle, reflected, diamond gradient type can not be implemented using AS? Could anyone point me to the right direction? many thanks and best regards -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Create-angle%2C-reflected%2C-diamond-gradient-using-actionscript-tp21330771p21330771.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [flexcoders] load fla file into web UI then edit image inside it
rfkrocktk wrote: Well, first you need to implement some backend programming which will read a FLA file. You can try opening an FLA file with Notepad or maybe as a ZIP Archive... I'm not sure which format the FLA type follows, if it even has a format. Once you 'get in' to the FLA file's contents, you'll have to find the one you're looking for. After that, you should save it to a file on your server. Once that's done, send a value to your Flex client containing a link to the image file/the text. Edit the text, send it back and have middleware do the saving into the FLA file. Edit the Image, save it as an image with middleware to your server, then have your middleware insert the edited image into the FLA file. Creating a remote Flash IDE is a pretty ambitious task. I'm interested in what you discover, if you find anything cool, do post back!
