All three card cards work here on 2.9, except for the 3rd card using  
the 3D option.

I think I see what is happening on card 2 running 2.9. The Rainbow  
option does use the gradient effects, so if you start with the  
Rainbow option RR has nowhere to go when it gets to colorization.  
Surprising that it does not run and an error. It appears to think the  
MouseDown handler is just trying to set a custom property--that's  
just my guess.

But if you run with the "Multichromatic" option FIRST, Run Rev 2.9  
uses the colors assigned to the line graphic objects in the  
"Multichromatic" option. Try running the second card with that option  
first and see what happens. Works here.
Scott drew those 3D effects on the balls using 3.0's new gradient  
effects. RR will allow the setting of custom properties generally but  
balks at the form of the gradientData input to the "fillGradient."

Check out the "Rainbow" option on the second card.
In my mind this makes an important difference in the drawing speed as  
well as the smooth transitions using the color gradient.


EVERYONE:

So here are the instructions I should have included for everyone  
running 2.9:

Everything will work after a fashion. But:
1) On the second card run the multichromatic option first. There will  
be no difference between the Multichromatic option and the Rainbow  
option.
2) On the third card only the 2D option runs.
