Sprite fade out

[sterlingy]

Is there a way to fade a sprite out, without animating a sequence sprite bitmaps with increasing transparency levels?

You will need to use a set of bitmaps for that.

That was my fear.

Thanks for responding.

I've never tried, but can't you use Alpha-Blending in a Canvas?

I'm not using a Canvas. So this wouldn't help me.

or overlay with Background snap fading in?

untested idea.. cover it with totally xperant panel, then increase panel's opaque value with the speed you wish. panel color should match sprite container color.. on 100% opaque (invisiblate) both.

Yes -> the Accelerated Surface library provides the AlterColors function. It's used in the Space Enemies example.

Informatix,

Thanks. I'll look into that library.

Cheers,
