Particular gradient effect with flash

[Jax]

Hi, I'm really a newbie with flash... I'm trying to give a "rotating vynil
disc" effect on an image. So far I've just succeeded in the first part ;)

Unfortunately, the second part seems too much difficult for me, if not
impossible.
The effect I'd like to give is like this:

I know that it's impossible to do it exactly like this, but it would be
enough to put the "reflections" on the image. The difficult part is that
flash doesn't seem to have that type of gradient fill... what can I do?
Thanks in advance.

You would have to build a custom gradient fo the ridges effect and then
you could build a custom shape to create the bands around the record.

Easier than that would likely be to create the overlay effect graphic
with the transparency built in and import it as a png to create the
record effect that is shown in the second picture.
