Reviews for "Gradients Tutorial"
pretty cool but.....
I liked the tutorial but when I tried to make that kick ass swirling circle I didn't get rings like in the tut, only a fade from the inside out - which I already knew how to do. I also noticed your menu options looked differant than mine. what version of flash are you using? I didn't see it written anywhere. I have flash MX, this may be where the problem lies. other than that it was a pretty well done tutorial.

doh! I knew there'd be something I didn't explain properly!
If you look closely at my explanation for the markers, you'll see that I say "there can be up to 8 of these". The markers can be move from side to side, to create a new marker, click on the blend line, to delete a marker, drag it downward (there must always be two markers). Those kick ass circles were made by having 4 black markers and 4 white markers.
Based on the current feedback, there's a good chance I'll finish it, so I'll make sure to include all of this...
Yeh, sorry. I know how annoying it is to follow a tut and not get the same results...
Simple and easy!
I don't have flash, but that was a fine piece of work! I hope it paves the way to better flash movies!
Hmmm...
I'm not even sure why I watched this, but as it turns out I DID learn something. I was entirely unaware that you could make a fading gradient (half transparent).... though I remember trying to at one point.
Very good!
All I can say is that i loved the detailed explanations!!
