Here's from the script of the first card of a splash stack that I use:

on openstack
   fadeIn
end openstack

on closeStack
   fadeOut
end closeStack

on fadeIn
  repeat with n = 100 down to 0
    set the blendlevel of this stack to n
    wait 7 millisecs
  end repeat
  pass openstack
end fadeIn

on fadeOut
   unlock screen
   repeat with n = 0 to 100
      set the blendlevel of this stack to n
      wait 7 millisecs
   end repeat
   set the blendlevel of this stack to 100
end fadeOut

Adjust the wait period ad lib.
