Ok I made progress on what I want. I made two animation one with random Stars and one with dropping Stars. The plan is to make them run together. Unfortunately tweens colliding with each other because I have tween to alpha:0 in first one and staggerFrom on 2nd one. Could you please have a look at my full code and suggest how to solve it. You can see on swf the Animation 3 is alright on the beginning but then break up. What I don't want is all stars off and keep them twinkl. as3_code.txt Animation_ver4.zip

Thank you Carl. I'm watching your tutorials on snorkl.tv they are very helpful especialy where you expleing timing. But sometimes I have very bad latency on webpage I don't know why. Animation looks already better than my previous attempts. Just out of interest. Is there any chance to randomly tween all stars from one Array or separate them into multiple ones is easier solution? I will let you know how i manage. In fact I have total of 144 stars in 16th Arrays and the final result could be different to this 9 Array example.

Hi, I'm looking for animation similar on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQT4JYUUDJc if possible. As a beginner I tried using while loop and tween my Array of stars. My approach was insert multiple tween and use different delay on each one to make it random, but insert is not working in loop and if I use add they twinkle one by one. To make it more random I made 16 different Arrays with same stars, but again result was too uniform. Is is any chance to twinkle whole array randomly and multiple stars at ones similar to video above? I'm sorry for my code, it is not very nice. I'm not programer and I'm using Tween for fun. It is nice tool to make AS animation easy even for me. Here is my code: var arr01:Array=[s070,s066,s047,s029,s015,s101,s119,s134,s149,s160]; var arr02:Array=[s083,s058,s040,s024,s011,s108,s125,s127,s145,s154]; var arr03:Array=[s076,s062,s050,s036,s019,s001,s085,s106,s124,s155]; var arr04:Array=[s073,s082,s045,s032,s021,s006,s110,s140,s135,s159]; var arr05:Array=[s075,s061,s060,s044,s012,s005,s095,s118,s138,s152]; var arr06:Array=[s080,s088,s052,s041,s027,s002,s111,s139,s136,s161]; var arr07:Array=[s071,s084,s048,s030,s017,s009,s097,s115,s129,s150,s053]; var arr08:Array=[s072,s065,s038,s025,s003,s092,s104,s123,s117,s147]; var arr09:Array=[s079,s054,s037,s120,s007,s091,s102,s122,s133,s144]; randomBlinkBt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, randomBlink); //randomized array function shuffleArray(arr:Array):Array { var arrShuff:Array=[]; while (arr.length > 0) { arrShuff.push(arr.splice(Math.round(Math.random() * (arr.length - 1)), 1)[0]); } return arrShuff; } //random Twinkle array function randomBlink(ev:MouseEvent):void { arr01=shuffleArray(arr01); var blinkTime:Number=0.5; var timeLineBlink:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax(); var i:int=arr01.length; while (--i > -1) { timeLineBlink.add(TweenMax.to(arr01[i], 0.5, {alpha:0, yoyo:true, repeat:1}) ); timeLineBlink.add(TweenMax.to(arr02[i], 0.5, {alpha:0, yoyo:true, repeat:1}) ); timeLineBlink.add(TweenMax.to(arr03[i], 0.5, {alpha:0, yoyo:true, repeat:1}) ); timeLineBlink.add(TweenMax.to(arr04[i], 0.5, {alpha:0, yoyo:true, repeat:1}) ); timeLineBlink.add(TweenMax.to(arr05[i], 0.5, {alpha:0, yoyo:true, repeat:1}) ); timeLineBlink.add(TweenMax.to(arr06[i], 0.5, {alpha:0, yoyo:true, repeat:1}) ); timeLineBlink.add(TweenMax.to(arr07[i], 0.5, {alpha:0, yoyo:true, repeat:1}) ); timeLineBlink.add(TweenMax.to(arr08[i], 0.5, {alpha:0, yoyo:true, repeat:1}) ); timeLineBlink.add(TweenMax.to(arr09[i], 0.5, {alpha:0, yoyo:true, repeat:1}) ); } } Any help or point to right direction help. Thank you
