How do I make a scene switch over on a timer

I need to be able to switch scenes on a timer with a fade in and out transition.

Can some one please help!

You might be able to do this simply by having a plane in front of the camera. Alter the alpha channel of that plane so that it fades in. Once it has faded in, call

Application.LoadLevel(2);

Or whatever the number of the level is. This should give you the desired effect in a very simple manner. I’m sure there are other ways to do this, but this is the first thing that came to mind for me.
