Player Portraits
 

I downloaded the Interface art from http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/ui/ to have a look around and found all the temporary player portrait files but was wondering how you would call for the actual image of the a player if you wanted to display if on screen. I'm just now starting to explore more advanced xml so if this is an obvious answer sry =)

I would have thought WoWWiki would do it, not certain though.

It looks like I can use Frame:SetPortraitTexture(portrait, unit) to change the texture of whatever frame I've made, but its undefined on wowwiki.

This appears to be what Pitbull uses to set the players 2D portrait.

Anyone know if i can use "SetTimeVisible" for a button the same way as for a message frame? I want to show an icon on screen when an event occurs but then have it fade away after a few seconds...
