Gradient Color's in Brew Flashlite 2.1

[Brewin]

Hi ruben,

I am using flashlite 2.1 for displaying a ball on the screen.

After applying radial gradient on the ball, I moved the gradient to the corner of the ball.

When I published, I got this error and on the screen the gradient color stayed on the middle of the ball(On the stage it showing on the edge of the ball).

Symbol=blackBall, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Enhanced fill not supported in current player version

Even for FlashPlayer 7.0 it's giving the same output.

So how can I show the gradient color on the edge of the ball.
When I am published for FlashPlayer 8.0, Every thing looks fine on the screen.

The radial option is supported by 8 only, so what you can do is to make a linear and leave the light color at the edge, this may not be the right way but an alternative.

The other best way is to create an bitmap with radial effect in dreamwork/PS and import it to this fla and place at the edge.

Kindly note that, then Macromedia, now Adobe, puts best effort to make player backward compatible with content, however forward compatibility is not possible.

So Flashlite 2.x player is compliant with Flash 7 feature (trimmed down feature set), however it can't play Flash 8 feature set.

Thanks to Ruben and Bru,

I have one more question to ask, How can I read a text file in Flash.

Suppose, If I have a *.txt file in my project and I want to read the txt file and display it's content on the screen.

So, how to Load the *.txt and read from it.

Thanks all
Ramki. :)

Have a nice day to all.

There are some sample available in flash. Check out that to see how the file is read. Also use 'Flash help' in the application which has lot of info.
