Blinking words using NGUI

I’m using NGUI and I want a word within a UILabel to blink. I want centre justification on the label, and the string needs to be localisable.

I thought I’d be able to use the colour tagging, so I extended that to support colours of the format [RRGGBBAA], and this works unless I use outlining, in which case the outline always renders.

So, is there an easy way to turn off outline rendering for individual characters? Or is there a simpler way of doing what I’m trying to do here?

I guess you found a solution to your problem.

So I am asking: How did you make ngui support the [RRGGBBAA] format.
I am trying to realize a fade in effect for individual letters.

Would be appreciated lots!

(I wanted to post this as a comment, but then you don’t seem to be able to attach files)

I hacked it [RRGGBBAA] support myself. It’s not pretty, but I’ve attached the relevant files should you want them.
