# SWFGradient

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.5)

SWFGradient -- Creates a gradient object

## Description

``new swfgradient` (void)`

Warning
This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change in a future release of PHP without notice. Be warned and use this function at your own risk.

swfgradient() creates a new SWFGradient object.

After you've added the entries to your gradient, you can use the gradient in a shape fill with the swfshape->addfill() method.

SWFGradient has the following methods : swfgradient->addentry().

This simple example will draw a big black-to-white gradient as background, and a redish disc in its center.

Example 1. swfgradient() example
    <?php

      $m = new SWFMovie();
      $m->setDimension(320, 240);

      $s = new SWFShape();

      // first gradient- black to white
      $g = new SWFGradient();
      $g->addEntry(0.0, 0, 0, 0);
      $g->addEntry(1.0, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff);

      $f = $s->addFill($g, SWFFILL_LINEAR_GRADIENT);
      $f->scaleTo(0.01);
      $f->moveTo(160, 120);
      $s->setRightFill($f);
      $s->drawLine(320, 0);
      $s->drawLine(0, 240);
      $s->drawLine(-320, 0);
      $s->drawLine(0, -240);

      $m->add($s);

      $s = new SWFShape();

      // second gradient- radial gradient from red to transparent
      $g = new SWFGradient();
      $g->addEntry(0.0, 0xff, 0, 0, 0xff);
      $g->addEntry(1.0, 0xff, 0, 0, 0);

      $f = $s->addFill($g, SWFFILL_RADIAL_GRADIENT);
      $f->scaleTo(0.005);
      $f->moveTo(160, 120);
      $s->setRightFill($f);
      $s->drawLine(320, 0);
      $s->drawLine(0, 240);
      $s->drawLine(-320, 0);
      $s->drawLine(0, -240);

      $m->add($s);

      header('Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
      $m->output();
    ?>
