Gradient Canvas for Flex

I've just posted this on Adobe Exchange. I'm not sure why, but the built-in containers for Flex 2 do not have a built-in capabilities for a gradient-background. You can apply one, of course, but it's not particularly simple. This is weird, I think, because the tag does have an easy way to set a gradient back-ground, and the Application tag is a Canvas under the covers.

Nevertheless, the gradientability is in there, and because Flex is so lovingly extensible, I just created a GradientCanvas container that you can feel free to take, copy, modify and use in your application. You can grab it from the Adobe Exchange or you can view my sample and View Source from there.
