Just a little question on objects.

I want to make a text bubble (or rather a box) that appears and has text on it. I got the text part, and the box part solved, but i want to use the fade in/fade out features for it rather than this just appearing. And I want it to happen later in the frame. I think it would work if I made the object created later in the frame, but im a noob and i cant figure that out. So ya just a little question. Oh and sorry if this isnt posted in the right topic. Its my first post. :I

Try using a counter (or Variable) 0-128 and set the object's opacity (ink effect) to the counter. Add to or subtract from the counter with a timer so as the counter varies the the opacity of the object changes.
Look in Help:
Change ink effect : Semi-transparent : The object is melted with the background using a transparency ratio, from 0 (transparent) to 128 (opaque)
