Fading Images in and out

[FlapJack]

Hey,

How do I fade a picture? I have an event that runs as a parallel process...it goes like this:

@>Change Screen Color Tone (-255,-255,-255,0),@0
@>Wait: 20 frame(s)
@>Play BGM: 'TheBattle', 100, 100
@>Wait: 55 frame(s)
@>Change Screen Color Tone (0,0,0,0),@20
@>Show Picture: 1, 'presents', Upper Left (0,0),(100%,100%),255,Normal

The first Change Screen Color Tone is to make the screen black before the picture. There's a wait so the music doesn't kick in right away. AFter the music, I have another wait to time up the picture to the music. Than I have one more Change Screen Color Tone so that way the picture now shows up. "presents" is the name of the picture I'm showing, it's a jpg file. Now, how do I make this picture fade in and fade out? And then, any other pictures I want to show after that? Because right now, it just pops onto the screen...it's kind of jarring.

Thanks,
- Tommy

Give the picture a 0 opacity value, and use the Move Picture command to make it fade in.

Awesome! Thanks! Works like a charm!
