label appears when button pressed? possible?

just a quicky..

is it possible at all to have a text label (example- volume) only appear when a button is pressed (ie the volume up or down button)?

i have a slider which i use primarily for volume indication but thought it would be cool if i could make the text label appear while the volume is changing, and then disappear say 5 seconds after the button was pressed..

what would be even cooler would be a screen overlay with transparency which appears while volume is changing.. then fades aways.. id like that. i guess id have to do that in flash though. but i dont want flash in my roadrunner.

thanks,
tim.

without flash, you'd have to do an extension plugin.. but that's not very simple whichever way you go about it.

not sure if any one is interested, but... i found exactly what i wanted....

the program is called 3RVX.. website is here

the volume indicator pops up when the volume is changed.. then fades away after a short delay. the best thing is it is totally skinnable and with .png transparency!! oh it also has an indicator for mute, and for those with cd/dvd drives, an eject indicator when the drive ejects!
