Unity UI Having trouble with fading...

I am frustrated. Made a random generated dungeon and other intermediate level stuff and I can't fade in an image. Been searching for hours, trying things that didn't work. This is my current version of the script. I initially used only crossfadealpha which doesn't seem to work in accordance to what the documentation says. The canvasrenderer doesn't have a fade function according to vs and after reading that many people set its alpha before using crossfade for the image, I tried it but it didn't work either. Any help? (some gameobject names are the same with some variables - code also gets in the if statement)

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6. public class Events : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8.     public GameObject enemy;
9.  
10.     public GameObject win1;
11.     public GameObject text1;
12.  
13.     public Image win;
14.     public Text text;
15.  
16.     // Use this for initialization
17.     void Start ()
18.     {
19.    
20.  
21.         win1 = GameObject.Find("win");
22.         text1 = GameObject.Find("text");
23.  
24.         win1.GetComponent<CanvasRenderer>().SetAlpha(0f);
25.         text1.GetComponent<CanvasRenderer>().SetAlpha(0f);
26.  
27.         win = win1.GetComponent<Image>();
28.         text = text1.GetComponent<Text>();
29.  
30.         enemy = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("enemy");
31.  
32.      
33.     }
34.  
35.     // Update is called once per frame
36.     void Update ()
37.     {
38.  
39.         if (enemy == null)
40.         {
41.  
42.             //win.SetActive(true);
43.  
44.             win.CrossFadeAlpha(1f, 2f, false);
45.             text.CrossFadeAlpha(1f, 2f, false);
46.  
47.    
48.         }
49.     }
50. }

 

The solution was as simple as having 1 instead of 0 in the inspector options of the image/text color alpha. It won't increase if it's 0 for some reason but it will if it's 1 and with "win.CrossFadeAlpha(255f, 2f, false)".
