Example:

FadeInTextWithDelayAndID ("Welcome to the game!", 2, "fadein1")
SetTimeout (3) {
  FadeOutElementWithDelay ("#fadein1", 3)
}

The first version of this caused either the command bar or the text to move when fading out (depending on whether or not text had filled the screen, placing the command bar at the bottom of the screen).

I have now changed it so it leaves a blank gap when the text fades out.

(I don't like the gaps, but it seems like it's less distracting this way.)
