Please help me in getting the background fading image on this page:

http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/...hmx_php02.html

I tried looking for it, but it's so buried, I can't find it.

Thanks!

my email is timmerk@tcimet.net to send it to

I'm not going retrieve it for you, but I will tell you how to do so. Most likely, it is a .jpg set to be the body background using css. So open up the appropriate style sheet and look for the body definition, and get the url for the file from there.

It wouldn't be to hard to make one either, it is just a gradient, probably tall and thin, and tiled from left to right.

It's:

Tinky little thing, but looks nice when you repeat horizontally.

Thanks - do you know how they get it to extend downwards forever without repeating?

I'm guessing it doesn't, from looking at the site (not the source). They probably chose a background color to match the color the gradient fades to, so where the image ends, you can see the background color and just can't tell the difference.

You'll have to draw them in Flash, or Photoshop as in the case of this.
