Lua Alpha Fade Suggestions

[sisyphus]

First of all, I wanted to say that I have been very impressed with the Lua support for CEGUI. I have managed to create a fairly in-depth series of interface interactions controlled solely through Lua, with a minimal C++ framework loading the Ogre library.

In keeping with this design decision of handling as much as possible from Lua, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how to best accomplish fading between different layout files and windows. Basically I was hoping to gradually lowering the alpha of the windows through Lua. I appreciate any suggestions anyone might have with regards to how to best accomplish this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I imagine basically you need to subscribe a handler to the "WindowUpdate" event and do your fade(s) over time according to the elapsed time you extract from the UpdateEventArgs passed to the handler(s).
