What version of FW are you using? MX & MX2004 have a lot of styles to choose from.

Totally, you'll use the sliders to make your own. But it's only to control their colors. The cool ways to apply the gradient (linear, bars, contour, waves, etc.) would require some heavy programming. Adobe Illustrator has Gradient Mesh, whish lets you make some wild gradients on objects, but the 12 you see listed in FW is pretty standard these days for good vector programs.
