How to screen fade

Hi

I am trying to get a loading screen to fade in from black, to show the screen, then fade to black again, over the space of 3-4 seconds. I can't see a way of affecting rgb values, so I've been playing with the opacity. Problem is, I'm struggling with using simple while loops.

What I want is something like:

Set fadecnt = 0

While fadcnt < 100

set screen opacity to fadecnt

wait for 200ms

set fadecnt = fadecnt+10

/* then go to fade out routine, decrementing opacity*/

Can I get his to work? Can I 'eckers like

Any help you guys can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Wut?

There's a fade behavior, and Gradient object. Both have timers for fading.
