Answer 1

Yes. Use beginAnimation...commitAnimation, and use the alpha value to brighten or dim the ULabel. Make sure that the default value of the UILabel's alpha starts at 0.85 and brightens to 1.0 and then dims to 0.75, and when all is done, you go back to 0.85.

There are other ways to do it such as having another view on top of the label that is gray or black and you use the same begin...commitAnimation to change the alpha on that from 0 to 0.20 or so.
