Fade image in and out multiple times using Alpha

[nnhubbard]

I am trying to fade an image in and out for 6 seconds, so there would be 3 fade outs, and 3 fade ins, one second long each. I have tried the following, but it does not work:

[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
	[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
	venomTitle.alpha = 1.0;
	[UIView commitAnimations];
	
	[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
	[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
	venomTitle.alpha = 0.0;
	[UIView commitAnimations];
	
	[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
	[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
	venomTitle.alpha = 1.0;
	[UIView commitAnimations];
	
	[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
	[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
	venomTitle.alpha = 0.0;
	[UIView commitAnimations];
	
	[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
	[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
	venomTitle.alpha = 1.0;
	[UIView commitAnimations];
	
	[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
	[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
	venomTitle.alpha = 0.0;
	[UIView commitAnimations];

Is there a method of doing this? I am using UIImageView.

Those are all going to get jumbled together into one animation. You need to separate them with a timer. You could do this by several calls to performSelector, with each one firing a little bit after the next, with a call to your animations inside methods.

[self performSelector:@selector(doAnimationFadeIn) withObject:venomTitle afterDelay:0.0];
[self performSelector:@selector(doAnimationFadeOut) withObject:venomTitle afterDelay:1.0];
[self performSelector:@selector(doAnimationFadeIn) withObject:venomTitle afterDelay:2.0];
...
etc.
