Hi Pascal,
You need this:
on fadeControl theLongID
repeat with x = 100 down to 0 with messages
set the blendLevel of theLongID to x
wait 1 millisec with messages
end repeat
wait 2 seconds with messages
repeat with x = 0 to 100 with messages
set the blendLevel of theLongID to x
wait 1 millisec with messages
end repeat
end fadeControl
usage:
fadeControl the long id of fld 1
There are many ways to write the same script. You can adjust it to
simply use the number of a field and you can increase the waiting time.
You could even use steps to reduce the waiting time, but then you'd have
a less smooth effect.

Hi all,
I want to make a field displaying some status text ("Record saved") that
fades from invisible to visible, stays for a few seconds and then fades out
again.
I have seen that there seems to be a way to do this with groups, but could
I also do it with a single field?
Thanks,
Pascal
