Gradients in Flash

Gradients!

A blog entry on doloresjoya.com features some amazing examples of (hand made, not code-based) gradients using Flash (and includes a few source files!) and explains the principles behind creating different kind of gradient effects.

“Exploring Gradients” has a nice example of animating gradients (but sadly it is ActionScript 2). A more advanced (to me) but very cool example is offered by “Some Random Dude.”
