ImageDissolve inside ATL?

[KiloTango]

Maybe an odd one, and I might be approaching this from the wrong angle...

I have an imageDissolve animation that gradually brings something in line by line over 60 seconds, but I'd like to run this while the rest of the game is running, rather than the game wait for the 60 seconds to bring it all in.

I know atl animation can run while the game carries on, is there a way to do the same thing with an imageDissolve?

Code: Select all

image bg new slowid:
     "new.png" with ImageDissolve(...)

show bg old
show bg new slowid

I just tried

Code: Select all

  image noiseCreep:
    Animation(noise, 0.12, noise2, 0.12, noise3, 0.12) with ImageDissolve('transitions/scanlines.jpg', 60, ramplen=8, reverse=False, time_warp=quad_in_time_warp)

(...later...)

    show noiseCreep

but it's just doing a normal fast dissolve in of the animation instead of applying the image dissolve. It managed to apply the dissolve to the animation when I was just doing it with imageDissolve as a normal transition so I assume it is possible to do an image dissolve on an animation...
