are there any "fade in" effects for making a actor appear?

I would like a new actor to appear on screen. I guess I can put together and animation
but I was wondering if there is a tool in the gamesalad program to do this. Any tricks? hacks?

Thanks in advance,

ABZ

    You start the actor with an self.color.alpha of 0, and use an interpolate behaviour to bring the self.color.alpha value up to 1.

    You could also consider other options besides a fade or in conjunction with the fade that @Armelline describes. You might start the actor at a tiny size of 1 x 1 pixel and use interpolate to increase its size to the final size so it would grow on screen, or instead start with a giant size and reduce to the size you want. Lots of options...

    Thank you, both! I will look into both these techniques.

    I finally had a chance to implement your advise. Looks great! Thank you!
