<P>I have a screen in which these help icons fade in and out using the "with
visual effect dissolve" as a user enters information into each field on a data
entry screen. This little visual is meant to guide them as they proceed through
a form.</P>
<P>The idea is that the user jumps to a field, it is ready for input and then
the little effect fades in explaining what is expected, waits 2 seconds, then
fades away. Very simple and easy to create in Revolution.</P>
<P>The problem is that there is an delay, obviously, while this event happens,
preventing the user from entering data until my simple little assist fade event
is completed.</P>
<P>So, my question...</P>
<P>Is there a way to fire off my little fade in/out function (or any
function/message for that matter) in a separate event, process, thread (not sure
of terminology in Revolution) in which this animation message proceeds but the
user is still able to perform their data entry task without interruption.</P>
<P>Assistance, as always, is greatly appreciated.</P>
