■ You can use the properties a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, and i, which can be used to describe a 3 x
3 matrix of the following form:
a b c
d e f
g h i
The following example uses the beginGradientFill() method with a matrix parameter
of this type:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("gradient_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
with (gradient_mc)
{
NOTE
For Flash Player 8 and later, Macromedia recommends that you define the matrix
parameter in the form of a
flash.geom.Matrix object (as described in the first item in
the list).
