InheritanceGradientEntry Inheritance Object

The GradientEntry class defines the objects that control a transition as part of a gradient fill. You use this class with the LinearGradient and RadialGradient classes to define a gradient fill.

MXML Syntaxexpanded Hide MXML Syntax

The <mx:GradientEntry> tag inherits all the tag attributes of its superclass, and adds the following tag attributes:

  <mx:GradientEntry
    Properties
    alpha="1.0"
    color="0x000000"
    ratio="-1"
  />

Property detail
alphaproperty
public var alpha:Number = 1

The transparency of a gradient fill. Possible values are 0.0 (invisible) through 1.0 (opaque).

The default value is 1.

colorproperty 
public var color:uint

The color value for a gradient fill.

ratioproperty 
public var ratio:Number

Where in the graphical element, as a percentage from 0 to 1, Flex starts the transition to the associated color. For example, a ratio of .33 means Flex begins the transition to that color 33% of the way through the graphical element.

Constructor detail
GradientEntry()constructor
public function GradientEntry(color:uint = 0, ratio:Number = -1, alpha:Number = 1)

Constructor.

Parameters
color:uint (default = 0) — The color for this gradient entry.
 
ratio:Number (default = -1) — Where in the graphical element to start the transition to the associated color. Flex uniformly spaces any GradientEntries with missing ratio values.
 
alpha:Number (default = 1) — The alpha value for this entry in the gradient. This parameter is optional. The default value is 1.
