sifr gradient

Hello,

I would like to use sifr for a heading of mine and want to have a horizontal gradient on it. From top color: f8f7eb till the bottom color: d2d1c2 . I think I need to do this with a ColorMatrixFilter but I have no idea on how to start with this.

this is how it should look like:

 filters: {
        ColorMatrixFilter  ....		
      }
});

Code (markup):

 

there is no cross-browser compliant css method for creating a gradient. you can use canvas / js though...

i saw this on ajaxian last week: http://ajaxian.com/archives/css-gradients-for-all but i doubt you can use that on a font.

as for sifr - is this still going? i'd check their faqs / api / docs.

 

thanks for the link. This is the page for filters in sifr:
http://wiki.novemberborn.net/sifr3/Filters

they sugest to visit the livedoc site of adobe but I find it hard to find anything over there.

Anyone else who tried using sifr with a gradient? The other method doesn't work with different fonts I reckon

 

looks like you may be able to use the php interface and check the output from something like this:

var colors:Array = [0x000000,0xFFFFFF];
// Sets the transparency of each color.
var alphas:Array = [1, 1];
// Set the position of each color.
var ratios:Array = [0,180];
// Creates a variable with info about the Filter settings.
var myGradientBevelFilter = new GradientBevelFilter (1, 90, colors, alphas, ratios, 16, 16, 20, 3, "inner", false);
// Applies the filter to the object named myObject.

I have asked about some more info in that topic thanks for posting. As I don't see this working with php.
