This code draws the following image on the screen:
■ matrixType, x, y, w, h, r.
The properties indicate the following: matrixType is the string "box", x is the horizontal
position relative to the registration point of the parent clip for the upper-left corner of the
gradient,
y is the vertical position relative to the registration point of the parent clip for
the upper-left corner of the gradient,
w is the width of the gradient, h is the height of the
gradient, and
r is the rotation in radians of the gradient.
The following example uses the beginGradientFill() method with a matrix parameter
of this type:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("gradient_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
with (gradient_mc)
{
colors = [0xFF0000, 0x0000FF];
fillType = "radial"
alphas = [100, 100];
ratios = [0, 0xFF];
spreadMethod = "reflect";
interpolationMethod = "linearRGB";
focalPointRatio = 0.9;
matrix = {matrixType:"box", x:100, y:100, w:200, h:200, r:(45/
180)*Math.PI};
beginGradientFill(fillType, colors, alphas, ratios, matrix,
spreadMethod, interpolationMethod, focalPointRatio);
moveTo(100, 100);
lineTo(100, 300);
lineTo(300, 300);
lineTo(300, 100);
lineTo(100, 100);
endFill();
}
