   <function>swfgradient</function> creates a new SWFGradient object.

   After you've added the entries to your gradient, you can use the gradient 
   in a shape fill with the <function>swfshape->addfill</function> method.

   SWFGradient has the following methods : <function>swfgradient->addentry</function>.

   This simple example will draw a big black-to-white gradient as background,
   and a reddish disc in its center.
