Create a mirror, linear gradient in Illustrator?

Hi rc, I put this together, how are you manually? I think that there are two ways to translate the values to account for the two halves, this version is ok?

// script.name = radialToMirroredLinearGrad.jsx;
// script.description = changes a Radial Gradient to a Mirrored Linear Gradient
// script.requirements = select an object with a Radial Gradient Fill before running the script
// script.parent = CarlosCanto // 11/07/2015
// script.elegant = false;

Linear gradient angle is comprehensive for several objects?
 
			 
Hello
I was wondering if I missed something, or simply confirm the way that the angle of a linear gradient is applied to several objects.
This image has a gradient applied to all 4 objects (selected together, so both applied gradient).
The angle is set to 90 degrees, and here the color flows from black to pink, from top to bottom for all.
This is the effect I want to achieve:
I.e. each object has the gradient flowing along its own form. I did it by editing the gradient on each individually, not these difficulties with 4 items, however a bit of a barrier for many (e.g. scales or fur, applied with a brush of art).
I tried the gradient of construction in the predefined brush, but got an error message on the attributes is not not compatible with the brush.
So... is this correct / expected Illustrator CS6 behavior and/or can achieve the same with efficiency for many, many items all at once?
			 
Jeff,
You can create a path (set) with a basic form and the corresponding mix and use it for an Art Brush.
I'm not sure how far it happens that you desire/need.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Using the color picker to the linear gradient does not
 
			 
Sorry for the bad English, I really don't know how to ask this question tbh.
I'm doing a degraded, object using four colors that I put in place. I did four arrows to the linear gradient bar, but the second, I use the color picker to add the right color, changing the bar of solid colorand gradient bar disappear. I tried many things and scoured the internet to find answers, but can't find anything about this problem. I'm this Adobe Illustrator Gradient GOLD text, logo - YouTube video and this is the stage at 03:07 that does everything just for me. I would appreciate help!
Thank you
			 
Rather than put into squares colors use color chart & global colors (indicated by a white triangle at the bottom of the swatch)

To apply the nuance to a point of gradient is easy. You select the point of gradient (indicated by a black triangle above the point of gradient). ALT then click a color in the Swatches palette to fill this gradient.

If you use global colors, you can easily double, click a shade and change colors and all uses of the color update.
Here, I've added 44 black to make the Green darker.

World Vision automatically adjusts the point of gradient.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
By changing the angle of a linear gradient
 
			 
Hi friends
Suppose I have a filled object with a linear gradient. This object is the only one selected. I would just change the angle of the gradient at 25 degrees. So I think I could do:
var doc = app.activeDocument
Alert (doc.) Selection [0]. FillColor.angle) / / the result is the exact angle of the gradient of the selected object fill. Suppose that of 12 degrees.
now try to change it:
doc. Selection [0]. FillColor.angle = 25.0
---
No error is detected by the Script Extended tool... BUT... it doesn't change anything. Illustrator reference manual does not say that this property is read-only, I think that I could write.
Am I missing something?
Thank you very much for the help
Best regards
Gustavo.
			 
It's tricky.
// GradientBlackWhite_rotated.jsx
// requires an open document and one selected object

var newGradient = app.activeDocument.gradients.add();
var colorOfGradient = new GradientColor();
var myGradientAngle = 80;
colorOfGradient.gradient = newGradient;
doc.selection[0].fillColor = colorOfGradient;
/*Thanx to John Wundes for this -->*/doc.selection[0].rotate(myGradientAngle, false, false, true, false, Transformation.CENTER);
redraw();
alert("gedreht");

Have fun
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Linear gradient that follows a circle?
 
			 Hello


It must be something really simple, but I googled until I can't see straight and still have not been able to find the answer. I'm not too with the flash tools, drawing, so I'm not familiar with them. All I'm doing is create the preloader rotating little circle that you see everywhere, and I can't figure out how to get the linear gradient follows a circular path. If you don't know exactly what I'm talking about you, Adobe.com uses the same few rotating preloader circle on its home page. Can someone point me to a tutorial or just tell me how to do? I think there must be something simple that I'm missing.


Thank you!
Holli			 
Holli,
YER right - harder than it looks. Flash doesn't have the ability to bend gradients :(
But you can simulate it:

Basically, I used a linear gradient and a small Ribbon to only show the part of the slope, I needed.
It will be useful.

How to create a character of text in Illustrator by Script?
 
			 
I want to add a Rectangle around characters.
With indesign: I can create the outline of the characters,: ex: Dim oaPols = oRange.CreateOutlines (False)
But with Illustrator can only create TextFrame shape.
How to create a character of text in Illustrator by Script?
Thank you all.
			 
AHA!
You can duplicate your original text block, put a coat of any color on the range of text you want and then create the contours of this copy. Now, the characters who are all developed in transparent traces will be in their correct positions and contours more will be your flagged - items you can delete the rest.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Creating a mirror site
 
			 
Then, I got the task of taking the site I built for a client and create a "mirror" for international users site.  Basically, this will be an exact duplicate site but with subtle differences of content overall.  My client wants an initial "homepage of the landing" with the two buttons (U.S. and international) and then direct the user to the American site which I already built or new international site "mirror."
Is it still possible within the same domain and the site map, I've already built?  I imagine that the sitemap would be crazy and the functions of the menu would be some disorder, unless I re - have everything manually.  Just think how this could possibly be buried or is two separate sites the logical scenario here?
Thanks for your 2 cents!
			 
This can be done with the same domain where you create the structure of different page with languages, for example, you have a home page with 2 buttons linked to different pages including subpages with content of specific language.
Muse generates a sitemap for each site, so with the structure of different also, front page of the site would be same.
Thank you

How to change the direction of linear gradient in Flash CC 15
 
			 
In previous versions of flash 8 Macromedia, CS5.5 and CS6 - I remember taking simply by dragging in a direction with the paint bucket tool while using a linear gradient I could change the direction of the gradient. This seems to be either a feature of flash CC.
(My lock fill is not selected.)
			 
Use the gradient transform tool. It is an option in the free transform tool.

Theme 25 linear gradients not supported in IE9 CSS?
 
			 
Recently, I posted a question (see Theme 25 change number of color in IE) with changes taken custom color theme 25 css 4_2.css still working in FF and Chrome, but not IE9 kept the original blue colors. Colors make correctly in IE10 and IE8 and it seems that the question is degraded linear CSS are not supported in IE9.
Is it possible that I can get the custom colors to render in IE9? I hope that Oracle has rolled out this theme with the anticipation that customers will have to make changes to the colors. I have a hope to get a response from the Oracle, but would welcome all responses.
Thank you
Ed
			 
Problem solved, and now works in IE9, 8, 7 and ff & chrome. Focusing on the header of the solution was in the base64 encrypted background-image: url('data:image...) During the decryption of the code there are references to #4276 b 5 & 5a92d9 #. I changed my colors and it works now. The complete code is:
/ * Start the background color of header changed all references to #4276 b 5 & 5a92d9 # #631919 & #6A 1918 * /.
background-color: #631919; background-image: url)

Crash of edge with linear gradient and rgba 0.40
 
			 
Heya boys and girls:
In the hope that people can sound on what they are able to reproduce this problem on their system, and I think this is the last version of the edge and OS X Mavericks (video versions):
http://www.screenr.com/4JNN
Define a linear gradient with an alpha 0.41 0.39, 0,30, 0,50 rgba value, all seem to work as expected.  0,40 is the bad mamajama to stay away from.  Let me know if any of the steps in the video are confusing.  I am able to reproduce this 100% of the time now... After spending most of the day, to know its quirks... I think I'll just go with 0.39 for now  .

Asad,
I had forgotten the crucial information of CS3.
Thank you for pointing it out, Monika.
Here is a new set of instructions with pictures, based on mixtures, to appear as suggested in the post #13, only nicer and cleaner:
(1) create a circle of filling/nostroke with W = H = 2pt;
(2) copy 1) at a proper horizontal distance, then copy 10 below, then create mixes of each of them with object > mix > Options set to focus = align on the path and the specified steps = 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48 and 51, applied to each game to get all the mixes to be applied on the reverse;
(3) create a circle of vascular accident brain/nofill with W = H = 105pt and cut it to side Anchor Points, select the low center reference Point in the Transform palette and remove the bottom half;
(Copy 4) 3) and set W = 45pt, now you should have circles outside and inside;
(5) purpose > mix > blend Options, define the specified steps 9 and align the value Orientation on the track;
(6) object > blend > make, now you should have 11 a half circles.
(7) object > blend > expand, now you should have 11 independent semicircles.
((8) select each circle 7) with corresponding mix 2) and object > blend > change the meaning;
(9) object > decompose the appearance and Ctrl / Cmd + SHIFT + G to ungroup, now you just need to have all the points like individual trajectories;
(10) select the points to be repainting and repainting them.
With the numbers you use you get quite nice models of completely round points; the odd difference in number dot a half circle to the other will ensure that you switch between one and two points at the top.
Here is an image to four times the mentioned size, with slightly changed in red, gree and blue:
