Almost certainly.

Well worth a look if you want to play around with Swing

Use a javax.swing.Timer to drive code that gradually changes the component's Foreground color.

The thing about reading a tutorial or textbook is that it's supposed to teachyou something more general or point you in the right direction. Youshouldn't expect to find the exact code you need to paste into your code.

How about an ActionListener that looks like this:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

Color color = calculate next color in fade

yourComponent.setForeground(color);

if (fade is complete)

timer.stop();

}

I based this on what I read in the tutorial.

can i use Story = new JLabel(" ");to have it clear in the processyou to show for half a second then disappear, then start with a new text?Message was edited by: ichbinsterben

Usually the best way to clear is to calltheLabel.setText("");on an existing label in the gui. If you create a *new* JLabel, you wouldhave to remove the old label and add the new label and then relayout itscontainer. Not worth it.
