Since we are on the subject...


My question directly pertains to Flash, as the transfer of gradients from

FH9 would be the work-around for a  deficient (by comparison to I8, and

even FH8) color/gradient defining mechanism(s) in Flash.


In FH9, is it possible to place colors along the ramp at specific

percentages/distances when editing/creating a gradient?  I might upgrade

for this feature alone.  I have FH8 and it doesn't seem to be possible,

unless I am overlooking something.


Thanks.
