Hi, i've been attempting to make a game and was wondering how to make objects (such as rectangles) in and out from a JPanel. Can anybody help me out?

Thanks in advance,
~Ben

Change the color you use. Start out with a color that is mostly (or all) transparent (low alpha) then raise the alpha over time to 255 (fully opaque).

Edit: Thanks BeerNutts. Had it backwards.

Change the color you use. Start out with a color that is mostly (or all) transparent (high alpha) then lower the alpha over time to 0 (fully opaque).

You said that backwards. High alpha is opaque (255 is fully opaque), and low alpha is transparent (0 is invisible).
