Tutorial 3: Working with gradient in Flash (Continue with Tutorial 1)

1. Import the image.

2. Select Window > Color.

3. In the color panel, change it from a solid color to a gradient, select either linear or radial gradient from the drop down menu.

4. When you select either linear or gradient, you will see the default gradient colours. You can customise the gradient by doing the following actions:

• To add more colours move your mouse underneath the gradient bar until you see a plus sign next to your cursor. Click to add a new colour box. You can drag this colour box along the gradient bar until you get the effect you desire. To change the colour of the box, double click on the box and select the colour of your choice from the colour change options.

•  To remove colours from a gradient click on the colour box of the colour you don’t want and then drag the colour box downwards until it disappears.

•  To make a colour in the gradient transparent click on the colour box and then change the Alpha Setting from 100% to the level of transparency your require. Note that you probably won’t see the transparency effect until you place the fill over another object on the stage.

5. My final result.
