unfortunately "visual effect xyz" does only work inside of a stack  
and not the stack itself.

But if you have a recent version of REV, you can use the new  
"blendlevel" property which
also works on a stack level!

Maybe with two handlers in the stackscript:

on dissolvestack whatstack
    repeat with i = 10 to 100 step 10
    ## play with "wait" and the values in the repeat loop...
      set the blendlevel of stack whatstack to i
     wait 10
    end repeat
   hide stack whatstack
end dissolvestack

on undissolvestack whatstack
show stack whatstack
  repeat with i = 90 down to 0 step 10
    ## play with "wait" and the values in the repeat loop...
      set the blendlevel o stack whatstack  to i
      wait 10
    end repeat
end undissolvestack
