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();
?>
