How do I fire fade in or out from the script?

AC.KickStarter.mainCamera.FadeIn (fadeTime);
AC.KickStarter.mainCamera.FadeOut (fadeTime);

Correction, I need that for the sprites.


AC.KickStarter.object.FadeIn (fadeTime); ?

Attach a SpriteFader script, and call it:

mySpriteFader.Fade (FadeType.FadeIn, 0.2f);
mySpriteFader.Fade (FadeType.FadeOut, 0.2f);

Cheers!

Just got back to check it. I can't get it work. It says:

 error CS1061: Type `UnityEngine.SpriteRenderer' does not contain a definition for `Fade' and no extension method `Fade' of type `UnityEngine.SpriteRenderer' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

What am I missing?


On a side note. This whole thing of calling a function from another script in Unity is ridiculous.
In the previous engine I worked with it was simple. I could place it anywhere in the script, this.myfunction();

SkyTree

Tried to define it as public SpriteFader mySpriteFader;
and calling like this:
mySpriteFader.Fade (FadeType.FadeOut, 0.2f);

Now it says:
 error CS0117: `AC.FadeType' does not contain a definition for `FadeOut'

Apologies - that's a lower case "f":

FadeType.fadeOut
