Property Detail

focalPointRatio

property

focalPointRatio:Number

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Sets the location of the start of the radial fill.

Valid values are from -1.0 to 1.0. A value of -1.0 sets the focal point (or, start of the gradient fill) on the left of the bounding Rectangle. A value of 1.0 sets the focal point on the right of the bounding Rectangle.

If you use this property in conjunction with the angle property, this value specifies the degree of distance from the center that the focal point occurs. For example, with an angle of 45 and focalPointRatio of 0.25, the focal point is slightly lower and to the right of center. If you set focalPointRatio to 0, the focal point is in the middle of the bounding Rectangle.

If you set focalPointRatio to 1, the focal point is all the way to the bottom right corner of the bounding Rectangle.

The default value is 0.0.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the propertyChange event.

Implementation
public function get focalPointRatio():Number
public function set focalPointRatio(value:Number):void

scaleX

property

scaleX:Number

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The horizontal scale of the gradient transform, which defines the width of the (unrotated) gradient

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the propertyChange event.

Implementation
public function get scaleX():Number
public function set scaleX(value:Number):void

scaleY

property

scaleY:Number

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The vertical scale of the gradient transform, which defines the height of the (unrotated) gradient

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the propertyChange event.

Implementation
public function get scaleY():Number
public function set scaleY(value:Number):void
