I also think I need to move away from OpacityAnimator as my fade method.
Text { id: exampleText text: "let's fade me out" opacity: 0 Behavior on opacity { PropertyAnimation { duration: 5000; easing.type: Easing.InOutQuart} } } Timer { id: thisChangesthePropertyAtSomePoint running: true interval: 1000 onTriggered: { exampleText.opacity = 1;} }
