Ok, that’s explain also because onPositionChanged does not work. The property has no signal notify changes. So, it means you cannot do what you want.
So, my workaround is: - define a property and animate this property - refer this property into gradient Rectangle { id: myRect property real gradPosition: 0.98 gradient: Gradient { GradientStop{ … ; position: myRect.gradPosition } … Ciao, Gianluca. > On 18 Nov 2015, at 15:20, Jason H <jh...@gmx.com> wrote: > > A fantastic suggestion!
