Fading In A Display Group of 10+ images

Audio and Graphics
#1

I have a display group of about 13 images that have been scaled, plus 7 or 8 vectors on top of those images. In the corona simulator, i have simply put a transition.to making the alpha go from 0 to 1 over 2 seconds. [No I did not forget to make the alpha 0 to start with]

In the simulator it works fine, but on the phone, (Android Galaxy S3) it sort of waits for the two seconds to be over, then BLINKS on, abruptly.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any fixes?

I even tried longer time periods since maybe the phone needed more time to load, but it still waits, then blinks alpha to 1.

Haven’t seen it, and I’ve done some group fading here and there… btw, the alpha fade didn’t look so good in my case… Being see-through, it looked kind of weird, so I ended up putting a black rectangle in front of the group and faded that alpha to 0, and that looked pretty good. (In my case I wanted it to look more like a TV “fade to black” kind of thing, instead of an alpha “ghosty” kind of thing).

Can you post up the group creation/loading code and the fade code?

@mpappas thanks! This worked much better!
