Re: FLASH: Gradient

[Jay]

Thanks John - worked a charm.

I'm not planning on using it for anything, I'm just perusing the F4 drawing

tools and getting a feel for the place. When I broke apart this particular

font though it selected the blank section of the capital "D" I'm guessing

this was due to the type of font face I was using because Arial didn't do

that.
