Hi, I'm attempting to resolve a problem for a series 60 device.
I would like to draw a string with a fading effect (i.e., alpha from 0 to 100...or 255?!), but the effect should be applied to one character of a string at a time.
I have tried to combine the drawString(...) method with the setARGBColor method, but nothing happened. What can I do?
Thanx

What about using setColor(r, g, b) before using drawString to draw each character in turn, incrementing the values as you do so? You could set up a loop to draw the chars, passing the colours to a routine, say, like:

for (int i=0; i<s.length(); i++) {
drawMyChar(r, g, b, s, i)
[do colour change]
}

drawMyChar(int r, int g, int b, String s, int stringPos) {
g.setColor(r,g,b);
g.drawString(s.subString(stringPos, stringPos), x, y, 0);
}

Or something like that? You'd have to pass the x and y position too and increment the x with each char I guess.
Anyway, just a thought.

Uhm, it seems a good idea...
I'll try, thanx
