I wanted to make a similar effect to the xbox360/ps3 notification system. For those of you who use "ubuntu" you may notice it too, uses a similar effect called "NotifyOSD".

What I am doing here is drawing a polygon, and replacing it with an image. However, I wanted to use GUI's but had several problems. I could not make a semi-transparent black window appear. I was using GuiWindowCtrl, GuiControl, and GuiShowImgCtrl. No sucess, so I turned to polygons.

The problem I am having is that I need the polygon (or gui if anyone can help with that) to fade in/out. I am stumped why this code would not work seeing as it looks correct to me at first glance. Maybe anyone else might have an idea what I am doing wrong.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  with (findimg(4002) ) {
    this.xy2 = {screenwidth-275,25};
    this.xy = {temp.poly[0]+50, temp.poly[1]+25};
    polygon = {this.xy2[0],this.xy2[1],this.xy2[0]+250,this.xy2[1],this.xy2[0]+250,this.xy2[1]+75,this.xy2[0],this.xy2[1]+75};
    layer = 4;
    red=green=blue=25;
  }
  changeimgcolors(4002,0,0,0,.5);
  with (findimg(4003)) {
    this.xy2 = {screenwidth-215,35};
    x=this.xy2[0];
    y=this.xy2[1];
    layer = 5;
    text = "scriptless has logged on";
    zoom = .7;
  }
  with (findimg(4004)) {
    this.xy2 = {screenwidth-260,45};
    x=this.xy2[0];
    y=this.xy2[1];
    layer = 5;
    image = "head1212.png";
    zoom = 1.5;
  }
  changeimgpart( 4004, 0, 64, 32, 32 );
  
  for ( i=0; i<1; i+= .01 ) {
    for ( j=4002; j<4005; j++ ) {
      with (findimg(4002)) { alpha = i/100; }
    }
    waitfor("", "noevent", 0.5);
  }
} 


Thank you in advanced,

I'm not sure but I would have thought that this. inside of with(){} would be referencing the provided object or in this case the image object instead of parent script variables, have you tried changing them all to thiso.?

Edit: Doesn't seem to the the case.
