Creating a 3-D Water Drop

[JonathanEngr]

I have found several different ways to create a drop of water on a surface, but how do I create a 3-D water drop abou tto fall from something? (Basically, the "hershey's kiss" shape, but with a rounded bottom). I have created the shape with two lines and a circle, but if I try to gradient fill it fills the shapes separately instead of as a unit. How do I make these objects act as one? Thanks!

...i would start with the ellipse to then modify, here is a quicktime movie i quickly knocked together to show you, quicktime player required:

With gradients you must weld the objects together; I think they will gradient-fill independently if only grouped.
