Help please: gradient to follow shape 'swirl' then fade out to transparent

Hi
I was wondering if anyone could possible help me on the best way to go about what i would love to achieve...
Above is my shape that I have created (its a swirl to go above some text for a logo) I would like the gradient to follow the swirl around rather than being at a fixed angle that it is currently now.  I am trying to create a light moving type effect really with the CYMK colours... I would like each edge at the LHS end to be either in colour then the centre bit to be fading to transparent (or vice versa - not decided yet) so the end looks like something similar to below.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I am relatively new to illustrator and only really know the basics of basics that have seemed to have got my by so far but would love to know & learn more...
Many thanks,
T

That's how I got to Carnegie Hall…Practice…Practice…Practice:and of course the subway I took and the ticket I bought.
It was a really good show and worth the effort.
You'll get there once you're familar with the tool.
A hint in CS 5 and beyond you can give an point in the gradient mesh transparency. Select the point and go to the Transparency Panel and lower the opacity and there you are.

  • Iphone will not turn on! Shows Apple logo then fades out?

    I have an iphone 3g used, jailbroken. Worked fine till last night, left it in car, woke up this morning and was off. I plug it into car charger and now apple logo went on, then fades out and nothing adter 30 seconds. I went to store and guy said to reboot in itunes. I plug it into my computer and NOTHING! wont detect it or even give the apple screen. I plug it into my car charger, hold home and power button and I get the plug into itunes screen. As soon as i unplug it to connect to laptop itunes, the phone shuts off. Help! My business is on this phone. When it is plugged into i tunes, i just get a faint black screen. I only get apple logo when plugged into car charger.

    Try to force it into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the USB cord. Press and hold the home button while plugging in the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • HELP PLEASE iPod Touch 4G went brown, then static, then turned off

    I was listening to music and looking at photos when my screen flashed brown, then then that static that comes up on a TV came on, then turned off. It isn't turning back on, last week when I connected it to a computer it made a noise, but it's been plugged in for the last 30 minutes and nothings come up on iTunes.
    I've tried holding the sleep and home button... IT DOESNT WORK.
    Help please!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Help please! Imac won't start and running out of ideas

    Help! My imac G4 Flat Panel running tiger won't boot or go beyond the grey screen, here's what happened,
    I went away on holiday for ten days and unplugged it, on return it worked fine for the first few goes however after leaving it with alot of photos open for a couple of hours I returned and the screen had gone funny, showed the app window on top but not properly and grey on the bottom two thirds, I could just about move the mouse which was ghosting and it sort of worked but not properly, I switched it off on the power switch and rebooted and it was okay for a few more sessions until getting stuck with the mail app open, I tried to force quit but couldn't and eventually turned it off on the switch, after which it won't boot or go beyond the grey screen every time I switch it on, I've tried all the following with no joy:
    -unplugged all peripherals
    -taken out airport card and extra ram I'd fitted myself about six months ago
    - done command, option, p and r on switching on, also command x and command option.
    - tried to boot from the original os x cd which came with it - this gives me a broken mac symbol and multicoloured spinning ball
    - boot from os9 disk which came with it this gives me a flashing question mark sometimes but most times just the grey screen.
    - boot from apple hardware test diagnostic cd which came with it, just says loading and hangs
    - boot from tiger dvd - shows the apple logo then a sign similar to no entry sign and spinning thing underneath.
    I've tried rebooting about 100 times now, as it once did a similar thing about eight months ago but eventually booted okay and then I ran check permissions etc. and never had a problem until now.
    I've put everything I can think of in in case any of it is important, apologies if there's too much extra info here but if anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful, am a bit stuck without it, luckily I've backed up most of my stuff but there's some things I haven't. please help! thanks

    Sorry to hear about your problem and I wish I had happy news. Sounds like what I am going through. Just spent over 200$ getting the Tiger upgrade installed at a Mac repair place because I wanted it done right, and had the RAM upgraded. After two weeks of bliss I get a gray screen with a spinning gear. The CD drawer wont open, nothing. Take it back to the shop and I find my hard drive is done. This is the SECOND hard drive. My G-4 came with a 40 gig HD, the one that they replaced it with 2 years ago was an 80 gig. I hope thats not whats going on with yours but it sure sounds like it. I beginning to wonder if there isn't a design issue going on here. I am a casual computer user but my son is on it for hours at a time and I'm wondering about heat buildup and the hard drive. Gonna ask that question when I pick it up, good luck with yours.

  • HELP PLEASE**Curve Fell In Toilet. Dried It Out & Worked Ok 1st Try But Won't On A Second Time.

    Ok my curve fell into the toilet, i quickly grabbed it out nd took out batt ns sim. let it air dry for maybe 2 hours til i got home and was able to put it in uncooked rice. let it be for a day then put batt back in without SIM. it loaded up good nd seemed fine, so i decided to turn it off so i could put in my SIM. but when i put in the SIM then batt, no red LED light showed and phone wouldn't turn on? PLEASE HELP ME. IM DESPERATE! Should i let it dry out a few more days and try again? Has Anyone ever done that? Is my phone completely lost? or any way possibleto have it fixed?

    Well, you did good up until the part of replacing the battery after only one night in the dry uncooked rice.
    If it was immersed completely, you're going to need 3-5 days of drying if it is not already damaged too much from trying it after the first night.
    Wet BlackBerrys are easily dried out. but patience is the key.
    1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
    2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
    4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
    Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
    *Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
    *On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
    *On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

  • Help please (not blather): Fix/Disable CS3 palette fade-in/fade-out

    My other thread got clogged with lots of insults and useless comments.
    For those of you who have a problem with slow fade-in/out of CS3 palettes, I am asking for possible solutions to this problem, thanks.
    I am not asking for misdirection, insults, suggestions to get a new machine, etc, thanks.
    I am courteously asking for anyone with a practical solution, including hacking the binary or whatever, to stop the useless fade-in/out of palettes on CS3.
    Thank you.

    Okay, I switched my primary Scratch drive over to a different IDE internal disk volume with 23 GB free. (Then I quit & restarted PS)
    I have 2GB (max) RAM on the dual G4. 67% of installed RAM is assigned to PS.
    Having the other Separate IDE Disk as the Scratch volume made No difference in the fade-in speed.
    I also tried stuffing a heavy QT encode into the system, which takes 80% of both CPUs when running. This does make a bit of difference, perhaps 0.5 secs overall.
    Opening a large-ish document in PS ( 580 MB ) causes the fade-in to slow down a little bit, perhaps by 0.5 seconds slower.
    With this large image, trying BOTH Raptor and IDE internal hard disks for Scratch, made No difference in fade-in time. So, no way is the fade-in slowness due to the Scratch disk setup.
    Except for the video card, my sys looks pretty much like Ramon's. I have never enabled Dashboard (CPU hog), and Spotlight is disabled on my Sys and Scratch volumes (same disk, separate partitions).
    One more bit of info: the Fade-In always looks like it takes only two steps, (1) 50% opaque over desktop, (2) 100% opaque and ready. 2nd monitor is 1600x1200 x 24bit via PCI video card.
    I have perhaps 150 font families installed under 10.4.11 and use Unsanity's FontCard, but most of my work images do not include any fonts.
    Unless it's the Fonts, or the Video card (soon to be tested), I don't know what else it could be.
    New Info: (Don't know why I didn't try this earlier, too tired at 2:30am...) I moved all my palettes over to my main monitor (AGP slot, ATI 9000 Pro on 1920 x 1200 Apple Cinema Display)... The fade-in is much quicker there; around 1.5 seconds to fade the palettes in.
    Again it happens in two steps of fade, just faster than on the 2nd monitor. This leads me to believe its the video card, and perhaps the new 9700 AGP will fix this problem...
    Also, the fewer the number of palettes open, the faster the fade-in on the main monitor... Looks like a simple "too much graphics to build, paint & fade" to me...

  • MovieClip: Fade Out then Fade In

    I need to produce an image gallery which when a thumbnail is pressed it loads a new image, fades out the previous image then fades in the new one.
    I have it fading in but I don't know how to fade the previous image out before.
    Here is my code so far:
    import mx.transitions.Tween;
    import mx.transitions.easing.*;
    var imageLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader() ;
    var imageListener:Object = new Object () ;
    imageLoader.addListener(imageListener);
    imageListener.onLoadInit = function() {
           var fadeIn:Tween = new Tween(holderMain.holderImage, "_alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 100, 60, false);
    holderMain.holderButton.button1.onRelease = function() {
           imageLoader.loadClip("one.jpg",holderMain.holderImage);
    holderMain.holderButton.button2.onRelease = function() {
           imageLoader.loadClip("two.swf",holderMain.holderImage);
    Does someone understand how to do this? 

    How do I set it up so that it loads - then fades out - then fades in?

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

  • Tried to upgrade and after uninstalling and reinstalling several times, keep getting "procedure entry point could not be located in dynamic link library" followed by "iTunes was not installed properly"  Error 7.....Help, please??

    Tried to upgrade as instructed and after uninstalling and reinstalling (even back to the former iTunes which I was happy with)several times, keep getting message "Procedure entry point could not be located in dynamic link library"  followed by "iTunes was not installed properly"  "Error 7".    Help, please??

    Entry point errors can usually be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of from the programs and features control panel. Unfortunately you neglected to include the detail of which dll is mentioned.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
