This attachment answers some of your questions and shows how the gradient floats over the flag.

Keep things simple—draw a circle and give it a gradient fill (as described yesterday). When the different elements are finished, consider how you’re going to combine them into a finished design. There’s no shortcut here—you’ll have to get your head around blends, composite operations or CI Effects. Find a procedure that suits you. A successful first project will give you the confidence to do more.
Layers and Groups
I try to organise different elements on separate layers. When a specific part of the design is composed of a number of different elements, I group them and move them to a single layer later.
Radial gradients not smooth
That’s a mystery. What’s the screen resolution of your machine? My iMac’s is 1920 x 1080. The screen image quality on most Windows PCs used to be dreadful, so if you’re using a PC monitor, that could be the problem.
