Gradient radar

[Morrigan Aensland webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hello,

I don't know if it is possible but can anyone tell me hou to make a rotating gradient like a radar
(a triangle with gradient fill rotating around one point making a circle)

I hope to hear from someone

thanx

Unfortunately, Flash does not support that type of gradient.

If your graphic is small, you could create it in another program, export it as PNG, and import it.

oh but it *can* be done with flash alone...

Ya' beat me to it Chris. I made one exactly like yours a couple of year
ago. Quite simple actually. Took all of 2 minutes. (OK, I'm slow)

not sure why it must be "circular"? flash can make radial gradients - i could edit it to be a radial gradient with similar results. true it's not as authentic as what you could do with a different program - but essentially this is a *radar* and as close as you could get in flash - i could spend more than 2 minutes and make it look even better. it's just a start.

Thank you all for the answers and the solution.

It was exactly what i was looking for (it surprises me how easy the solution is).

Thanks again

Cool!
OK, now to complicate things a bit, is there a way to sweep in a new image too? Anfyflash has an example, but I prefer the gradient "arm"...
