New Feature: Support for Gradient Objects (New!)
Revolution has always had built in vector object creation tools - now Revolution graphic objects support gradients. Not only can you interactively modify the gradients on objects, you can do this by script. You can change the gradient in a property inspector using vector handles, and designate any of six different gradient types between two colors. Entirely scriptable at runtime!
Gradient Handles
Control the direction and orientation of your gradient.
Gradient features and properties are accesible through the object property inspector. All properties are accessible at run time.
New Feature: Multi-Dimensional Arrays (New!)
Revolution 3 multidimensional arrays makes it far, far easier to work with data of all kinds. It will transform your use of working with XML data with Revolution applications.
