You can make the image a SPRITE and use SET SPRITE ALPHA to change it's alpha transparency. To fade in start with a transparency of zero and it's totally invisible, slowly increase the alpha level with a TIMER() and it'll fade in till the alpha level is at 255 (which is totally visible). Do the opposite (from 255 to 0) to make it fade out.

@Grog:
I would personally use a screen sized black sprite and fade that in and out over the top of what is displayed on the screen; but I was hoping to find out how he was displaying the text and doing the timers before I suggested anything.

This doesn't do everything you asked but it'll get you started, you need two images, "logo.jpg" is your text image and "black.png" is just a 1x1 pixel painted black:


Any questions just shout!

If it has a black background, you can just change the color of the text to simulate a fading:

Yeah, sorry about that. He may still post code before looking ours.

I don't have a problem with posting code before seeing what someone has done in a situation like this because it would have to be understood->changed to suit what @the beast of awesome is after.

I learn a lot from altering other people's code to fit my own purposes.
