Text display issue

[brokk]

PHP Code:

 showText(100, this.x, this.y-3, "showg", "b", "" @(player.clientr.hitpoints));
   with (findImg(100)) {
    font = "showg";
    style = "b";
    layer = 23;
    zoom = 1;} 


This is on an NPC (Whole script is serverside)

Number of issues...
1. The zoom doesn't go past 1, and I want larger number text.
2. I don't know how to change the color. (Looking to make it red)
3. What is the most efficient way to make it rise then delete.
-With that, what if another hitpoint is generated before the current one is still in rising effect?

I know a way to make rising text, but it wouldn't be pretty....
