I am working with LightSpeed C (2.01) on a Mac SE HD 20 and have been
trying to duplicate 3 cool "special effects" that I have seen done
on some other programs.  Any and all help & source code that you can give
me is sincerely appreciated.  The special effects are:

				1)showing one PICT picture (or a
				   line of text) and then dissolving
				   that picture (or text) to show
			   	   another picture (or text) beneath
				   it.

				2)expanding a line of text inside a
				  window, making it seem to explode.
			          One way to do this would be to just
				  keep changing the font size (10, 12, etc).
				  Is there a better way?

				3)the "Star Trek" effect, like in
				  LightSpeed C's About... box.

Please post replies to the net, as I'm not sure mail will get to me and I'm
sure other programmers are interested in these issues also.  If
you want to try mailing me stuff, try the following addresses:  

							hpcid!tedj@hplabs.COM
						or      tedj@hpcid@hplabs.COM
					       or   tedj@hpcillm.dtc.hp.com
Thanks!
