Here's the text of the tip (it's pretty simpleminded as you can see):

Fade out an image using the blendLevel
You can use the visual effect command to create a transition effect. 
For images, another way of creating such an effect is to use the 
blendLevel property:

   repeat with x = 100 down to zero
     set the blendLevel of image 1 to x
   end repeat

Unlike visual effects, changing the blendLevel can be done during a 
move command. Other operations can also be performed inside the loop.



I'm not sure what happened to the Tips stack - I think it was dropped 
sometime around version 2.3 or so.
