Description

Easy way to create seamless backgrounds for your full-screen Flash movies. Create a "bg" Object to use with this class as shown below.

Methods

 

fillBg

Usage


var bg:Object = new Object();
bg.bitmap = "linkage ID of bitmap"; (comment this line for non-bitmap fills)
bg.gradient = {c1:0x3E63B9,c2:0xCCD7EE,a1:100,a2:100,r1:0,r2:255,radial:true}; (leave out the radial property for linear gradient fills)
swf.fillBg(bg)

Description

Creates a gradient fill or bitmap tile or a combination based on the contents of the bg Object. TIP: use this order based on the type of gradient, linear: darkest color for c1, radial: lighest color for c1. Also, use weaker alphas for radial gradients.

Parameters

bitmap
(String) {property of the bg Object} the linkage ID of the bitmap to use as a background tile. NOTE: only property required for bitmap fills
c1
(Number) {property of the gradient Object of the bg Object} Hex value for the "top" color of the gradient
c2
(Number) {property of the gradient Object of the bg Object} Hex value for the "bottom" color of the gradient
a1
(Number) {property of the gradient Object of the bg Object} indicates the top color's alpha
a2
(Number) {property of the gradient Object of the bg Object} indicates the bottom color's alpha
r1
(Number) {property of the gradient Object of the bg Object} indicates where top color will be centered along the gradient's spectrum - ranges from 0 (far left) to 255 (far right)
r2
(Number) {property of the gradient Object of the bg Object} indicates where bottom color will be centered along the gradient's spectrum - ranges from 0 (far left) to 255 (far right)

Returns

Nothing.
