Ok so I’m having my window fade in and out using this subroutine
on fadeWindow(theWindow, theDirection)
tell theWindow
if theDirection = "out" then
set opaque to false
repeat with i from 10 to 0 by -1
set alpha value to (i / 10)
do shell script "sleep 0.01"
end repeat
else if theDirection = "in" then
repeat with i from 0 to 10
set alpha value to (i / 10)
do shell script "sleep 0.01"
end repeat
set opaque to true
end if
end tell
end fadeWindow
and then calling it in handlers like this
on should close theObject
if the name of theObject is "main" then
fadeWindow(window "main", "out")
end if
end should close
on opened theObject
if the name of theObject is "main" then
fadeWindow(window "main", "in")
end if
end opened
There are a couple problems however. When it opens on launch the window fades in but jumps a little right at the end. And when I close the window using the red x button it fades out fine but then you cannot get the window to open again 
Anyone have ideas why? Thanks so much!
