Scripting gradients

[Scott Rossi]

Gradient settings are stored in an array property called the fillGradient.
The color data is stored the "ramp" index.  So to get the colors, you could
script something like:
put the fillGradient of graphic "myBox" into theArray
put theArray["ramp"] of graphic "myBox" into theVar

The variable theVar will contain each color of the gradient, listed one per
line.

After making changes to the colors, you load the color data back into the
array, and set the fillGradient of the graphic to the array:
put theVar into theArray["ramp"]
set the fillGradient of graphic "myBox" to theArray

See the fillGradient entry in the dictionary for more info.
