Hello,… I’m probably out of my depth here, as I always tend to be. I try working it out for myself, then resort to looking at [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) for help, then end up on the forum becasue im too impatient and end up getting nowhere at all.

Anywho!

My objective…

I wish to create a banner displaying upcoming gigs for my band on which I will put up on our bands myspace.

Basically, I want 2 bits of information in text form, fading in and out on my banner. The Date and Location. But I want the information to change each time the text fades out so once it fades back in, the text displayed will be different… Let me try and explain this so a Mule can understand:

[COLOR=“DarkSlateBlue”]**TEXT IS FADED (INVISIBLE, CANT BE SEEN)**[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=“DarkGreen”]Text is loaded from an external source, with the information:[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=“Red”]Date: 31st Feb Location: Superdome, Kansas City[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=“DarkSlateBlue”] **THIS TEXT FADES IN AND IS DISPLAYED FOR A WHILE THEN FADES OUT** [/COLOR]  
[COLOR=“DarkGreen”]Then new Text is loaded and the process is repeated.[/COLOR]

I hope this is explained well enough, please reply if you can help, or need further explanation. Any help is much appriciated!
