VB

Hi, first of all i'm very impresed with your work. And i would like to know if there is a way to do something i need for a personal project, with your control.

What i need is to make a transition to a transparent image, so i could prepare a backgroung image, some labels with text over it, and the animation control over it all, and then fading to trasnparent image so i see behind the animation control te prepared text, like fading on.

the code im trying is somthing like:

Panel1.BackgroundImage = imagenes(3)
AnimationControl1.AnimatedImage = imagenes(8)
AnimationControl1.Animate(50)

this is after another transition, so the animation control is aready drawn, and imagenes(8) being a correct Bitmat with a full transparent gif loaded. Any sugestion?
