The GradientEntry class defines the objects that control a transition as part of a gradient fill. You use this class with the LinearGradient and RadialGradient classes to define a gradient fill.

MXML Syntax expanded

The <mx:GradientEntry> tag inherits all the tag attributes of its superclass, and adds the following tag attributes:

  <mx:GradientEntry
    Properties
    alpha="1.0"
    color="0x000000"
    ratio="NaN"
  />

ratio

	`color:uint` (default = `0x000000`) — The color for this gradient entry. The default value is 0x000000 (black).

	`ratio:Number` (default = `NaN`) — Where in the graphical element the associated color is sampled at 100%. Flex uniformly spaces any GradientEntries with missing ratio values. The default value is NaN.

	`alpha:Number` (default = `1.0`) — The alpha value for this entry in the gradient. This parameter is optional. The default value is 1.0.
