drop down and gradient fill

[jagguy]

In flash i want to create a roll over dop down menu like suckerfish drop down.
I want each menu item to have a gradient fill of color and change color when roll over.

2)How do i create gradient fill on just a simple rectangle? I see in color mixer this but th epaint fill does 1 solid color.

3) is it possible to have a drop down menu?

One way of creating gradient fill is to create it in a flash (without actionscript) and then just copy it with Bitmapdata draw() function.
You can then control scaling with matrix parameter.
We did so when we needed to create a gradient mask in our Mac Menu
