SWFGradient->__construct() — Creates a gradient object

### Description

SWFGradient
SWFGradient __construct ( void )
Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk.

swfgradient() creates a new SWFGradient object.

After you've added the entries to your gradient, you can use the gradient in a shape fill with the swfshape->addfill() method.

SWFGradient has the following methods : swfgradient->addentry().

This simple example will draw a big black-to-white gradient as background, and a reddish disc in its center.

Example#1 swfgradient() example

`<?php
$m = new SWFMovie();
$m->setDimension(320, 240);
$s = new SWFShape();
// first gradient- black to white
$g = new SWFGradient();
$g->addEntry(0.0, 0, 0, 0);
$g->addEntry(1.0, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff);
$f = $s->addFill($g, SWFFILL_LINEAR_GRADIENT);
$f->scaleTo(0.01);
$f->moveTo(160, 120);
$s->setRightFill($f);
$s->drawLine(320, 0);
$s->drawLine(0, 240);
$s->drawLine(-320, 0);
$s->drawLine(0, -240);
$m->add($s);
$s = new SWFShape();
// second gradient- radial gradient from red to transparent
$g = new SWFGradient();
$g->addEntry(0.0, 0xff, 0, 0, 0xff);
$g->addEntry(1.0, 0xff, 0, 0, 0);
$f = $s->addFill($g, SWFFILL_RADIAL_GRADIENT);
$f->scaleTo(0.005);
$f->moveTo(160, 120);
$s->setRightFill($f);
$s->drawLine(320, 0);
$s->drawLine(0, 240);
$s->drawLine(-320, 0);
$s->drawLine(0, -240);
$m->add($s);
