Color - radial gradient tint?

[swordfish123]

Hi!

I have a function for setting a background radial-gradient color. The function takes a color as a parameter.
It's working fine, but instead of using white as the "radial gradient" color - I want to have a "whiter/tinted" version of the color that comes as a parameter.

Let's say we send dark-red to the function, then I want a light-red "radial gradient" color.

Do I need to use a ColorTransform or?

Here is the function:

		public function setRadialBgColor(color1:uint, xPos:Number, yPos:Number):void{
			
		
			var colors:Array = [0xffffff, color1]; //instead of 0xffffff ??????
			var alphas:Array = [1, 1];
			var ratios:Array = [0, 0xFF];
			var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
			matrix.createGradientBox(600, 600, (3 * Math.PI / 2));
			matrix.tx = xPos;
			matrix.ty = yPos;
			var focalPoint:Number = 0.5;
			
			with (bgSprite.graphics){
				clear();
				beginGradientFill(GradientType.RADIAL, colors, alphas, ratios, matrix, SpreadMethod.PAD, InterpolationMethod.RGB, focalPoint);
				drawRect(0, 0, Main.maxRight, Main.maxBottom);
				endFill;
			}

			
		}

It's probably easy to solve this, but I tried to google but havent found any helpful topics.

-- thanks in advance

Maybe you can adapt this to work for you...

import fl.motion.*;

function setRadialBgColor(color1:uint, xPos:Number, yPos:Number):void {
        var color2:Color = new Color();
        color2.tintColor = color1;
        color2.tintMultiplier = 0.3;
        var colors:Array = [color1,color2];
        var alphas:Array = [1,1];
        var ratios:Array = [0,0xFF];
        var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
        matrix.createGradientBox(600, 600, (3 * Math.PI / 2));
        matrix.tx = xPos;
        matrix.ty = yPos;
        var focalPoint:Number = 0.5;
        with (bgSprite.graphics) {
                clear();
                beginGradientFill(GradientType.RADIAL, colors, alphas, ratios, matrix, SpreadMethod.PAD, InterpolationMethod.RGB, focalPoint);
                //drawRect(0, 0, Main.maxRight, Main.maxBottom);
                drawRect(0,0,600,600);
                endFill;
        }
}
