I've been doing these on-screen graphics for a web channel that covers space 
launches. We show a couple of different countdown clocks, as well as a block of 
ascent parameters.

But for the last nine minutes of a shuttle launch, there's not much to show. I 
have a couple dozen events that occur at various times during the count. I want 
to display each one as it occurs. An event is just a text string describing the 
event ("APU Start," "Steering Test," etc.).

My custom patch can either output each string on a output port, or output an 
array of structures that has the string and the associated time. The former is 
easier for me.

How can I crossfade from the last event string to the next, especially when 
they come in rapid succession (perhaps more quickly than the crossfade 
duration)?

I was doing a similar cross fade between a set of images, and it was a real 
pain to build the structure for it.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Rick
