Linear gradients change color along a single axis (horizontal or vertical).

Radial gradients change color in an outward direction starting from a central focal point. You can adjust the direction of a gradient, its colors, the location of the focal point, and many other properties of the gradient.

Flash CS4 Professional provides additional control over linear and radial gradients for use with Flash Player. These controls, called overflow modes, let you specify how colors are applied beyond the gradient.

1. To apply a gradient fill to existing artwork, select an object or objects on the Stage.
2. If the Color panel is not visible, select Window > Color.
3. To select a color display mode, select RGB (the default setting) or HSB from the panel menu.
4. Select a gradient type from the Type menu:

   Linear

   Creates a gradient that shades from the starting point to the end point in a straight line.

   Radial

   Produces a gradient that blends outward in a circular path from a central focal point.

   Note: When you select a linear or radial gradient, the Color panel also includes two other options if you are publishing for Flash Player 8 or later. First, the Overflow menu is enabled below the Type menu. Use the Overflow menu to control the colors applied past the limits of the gradient. Second, the gradient definition bar appears, with pointers below the bar indicating the colors in the gradient.

5. (Optional) From the Overflow menu, select an overflow mode to apply to the gradient: Extend (the default mode), Reflect, or Repeat.
6. (Optional) To create an SVG-compliant (Scalable Vector Graphics) linear or radial gradient, select the Linear RGB check box. This will allow the gradient to look smooth when scaled to different sizes after it is first applied.
7. To change a color in the gradient, select one of the color pointers below the gradient definition bar (the triangle at the top of the selected color pointer will turn black). Then click in the color space pane that appears above the gradient bar. Drag the Brightness slider to adjust the lightness of the color.
8. To add a pointer to the gradient, click on or below the gradient definition bar. Select a color for the new pointer, as described in the previous step.You can add up to 15 color pointers, letting you create a gradient with up to 15 color transitions.
9. To reposition a pointer on the gradient, drag the pointer along the gradient definition bar. Drag a pointer down and off of the gradient definition bar to remove it.
10. To save the gradient, click the triangle in the upper-right corner of the Color panel, and select Add Swatch from the menu.The gradient is added to the Swatches panel for the current document.
11. To transform the gradient, such as to make a vertical gradient instead of a horizontal one, use the Gradient Transform tool.

You can create any color using the Flash Color panel. If an object is selected on the Stage, the color modifications you make in the Color panel are applied to the selection. You can select colors in RGB or HSB , or you can expand the panel to use hexadecimal mode. You can also specify an alpha value to define the degree of transparency for a color . In addition , you can select a color from the existing color palette .

You can expand the Flash Color panel to display a larger color space in place of the color bar, a split color swatch showing the current and previous colors, and a Brightness slider to modify color brightness in all color modes.

1. To apply the color to existing artwork, select an object or objects on the Stage, and select Window > Color.
2. To select a color mode display, select RGB (the default setting) or HSB from the panel menu in the upper-right corner.
3. Click the Stroke or Fill icon to specify which attribute to modify.
   Note: Click the icon, not the Color control, or the Color Picker opens.
4. If you selected the Fill icon in step 3, verify that Solid is selected in the Type menu.
5. If an object is selected on the Stage, the color modifications you make in the Color panel are applied to the selection. Do one of the following:
   • To select a color, click in the color space in the Color panel. To adjust the brightness of the color, drag the Brightness slider.
     Note: To create colors other than black or white, make sure the Brightness slider is not set to either extreme.
   • Enter values in the color value boxes: Red, Green, and Blue values for RGB display; Hue, Saturation, and Brightness values for HSB display; or hexadecimal values for hexadecimal display. Enter an Alpha value to specify the degree of transparency, from 0 for complete transparency to 100 for complete opacity.
   • To return to the default color settings, black and white (black stroke and white fill), click the Black and White button .
   • To swap colors between the fill and the stroke, click the Swap Colors button .
   • To apply no color to the fill or stroke, click the No Color button .
     Note: You cannot apply a stroke or fill of No Color to an existing object. Instead, select the existing stroke or fill, and delete it.
   • Click the Stroke or Fill Color control, and select a color.
6. To add the new color to the color swatch list for the current document, select Add Swatch from the menu in the upper-right corner.

Each Flash file contains its own color palettes, stored in the Flash document. Flash displays a file’s palette as swatches in the Fill Color and Stroke Color controls and in the Swatches panel. The default color palette is the web-safe palette of 216 colors . To add colors to the current color palette , use the Color panel .

Now You can import and export both solid and gradient color palettes between Flash files , as well as between Flash and other applications .

The Color panel lets you modify the color palette of a FLA and change the color of strokes and fills, including the following:

• Import, export, delete, and otherwise modify the color palette for a FLA file by using the Swatches panel.
• Select colors in hexadecimal mode.
• Create multicolor gradients.
• Use gradients to produce a wide range of effects, such as giving an illusion of depth to a two-dimensional object.

The Color panel contains the following controls:

Stroke Color

Changes the color of the stroke, or the border, of a graphic object.

Fill Color

Changes the color of the fill. The fill is the area of color that fills up the shape.

Type Menu

Changes the fill style:

None

Removes the fill.

Solid

Provides a solid, single fill color.

Linear

Produces a gradient that blends on a linear path.

Radial

Produces a gradient that blends outward in a circular path from a central focal point.

Bitmap

Tiles the selected fill area with a bitmap image that you can select. When you choose Bitmap, a dialog box lets you select a bitmap image on your local computer, and add it to the library. You can apply this bitmap as a fill; the appearance is similar to a mosaic tile pattern with the image repeated within the shape.

RGB

Lets you change the density of the red, green, and blue (RGB) colors in a fill.

Alpha

Sets the opacity for a solid fill, or the currently selected slider for a gradient fill. An alpha value of 0% creates an invisible (or transparent) fill; an alpha value of 100% creates an opaque fill.

Current Color Swatch

Displays the currently selected color. If you select a gradient fill type (Linear or Radial) from the fill Type menu, the Current Color Swatch displays the color transitions within the gradient you create.

System Color Picker

Lets you select a color visually. Click System Color Picker and drag the cross-hair pointer until you find the color you want.

Hexadecimal value

Displays the current color’s hexadecimal value. To change the color using the hexadecimal value, type in a new value. Hexadecimal color values (also called hex values) are 6‑digit alphanumeric combinations that represent a color.

Overflow

Lets you control colors applied past the limits of a linear or radial gradient.

Extend

(Default) Applies the colors you specify past the end of the gradient.

Reflect

Causes the gradient colors to fill the shape using a reflective mirroring effect. The gradients you specify are repeated in a pattern from the beginning of the gradient to the end, and then repeated in the opposite sequence from the end of the gradient to the beginning, and then back to the beginning of the gradient to the end until the selected shape is filled.

Repeat

Repeats the gradient from the beginning of the gradient to the end until the selected shape is filled.

Note: Overflow modes are supported only in Adobe Flash Player 8 and later.

Linear RGB

Creates a SVG-compliant (Scalable Vector Graphics) linear or radial gradient.
