Fading text?

Hi, this engine is...just outstanding!
I've tried RPG Maker 2003/2k, XP and Game Maker...none of them gave me the options I needed.
Anywho, I am having a bit of an issue here.
I have my text ready and changing transparency; but I would like that text to fade in when invisible so it appears it is giving this structure:
- - Invisible word
-- The word starts fading in to desired color smoothly
Hello world! - The text fades in smoothly to desired color
I need 3 sets of text actors to fade from invisible to visible transitionally smoothly, any help here?
Also, I am using timers to give them set time limits to appear, but they do not transition fadingly so that works out, but I just need the fading
Thanks for any help!
