The newer, recommended method may work better for you:
lock screen for visual effect [in rect]
- - do stuff
unlock screen with visual effect dissolve
This caches the area and allows the engine better control over the effect.

Craig,
Tnx, the reason I did the “do” stuff is because I wanted to
programmatically vary the speed of the dissolve, initially, but it’s
probably not necessary because most of the dissolves are the same. I have a
pretty large app and I suspect there is some kind of timing problem because
putting in a delay solved some of it. For me, the text fades in, then the
field content disappears and leaves a white space where the field was. The
background of the field is set to transparent, but I haven’t yet explored
setting different options. I will do that today.
Thanks for the comment,
Bill

Hi.
Still annoyed at having to answer in the use-list as opposed to the Forum.
I made a new stack with a button an a field. In the button script:
on mouseUp
hide fld 1
put "fld 1" into lFieldRef
put “dissolve" into tEffect
put "show "&lFieldRef&" with visual effect ""e&tEffect"e into tDo
do tDo
end mouseUp
Works just fine.
Why go through all the “do” stuff? Why not just:
show fld 1 with visual effect dissolve
