Let's say you want to throw up an alert box with a fancy background and some text on front of it. But you also want to display it with a fade in, movement, etc. How would you handle this?
1) You're somehow rendering everything off screen and just manipulating 1 object. If so...how?
2) You're manipulating the background image, text, etc, all in real time. Drawing the background, then the text, while at the same time moving, fading everthing in a group.
3) Other?
I'm probably going to use #2, but this seems like a nice case where a render to texture or similar feature (#1?) would be used.
