Very good example Bernard. Thank you :)

It´s random. While some are fading in, others are fading out and so on. I
used Fuse to iterate through the stars created and attach the onEnterFrame
event on each of them.
How I would animate each of them at different times using only one
onEnterFrame event?
Maybe the best solution would be to
It seems much more likely to me that it's alpha related. Remove the
alpha-related code and see if it still occurs.

Well, you could define variable in each star instance and give up a
fadeSpeed whereby it's

Thank you all for the replies! :)
@ryanm: I will take a look at this article tonight, seems very interesting.
@Weyert: I didn´t really understand your technique Weyert. Could you please
make it more clear!? How would I iterate through 50+ stars movieclips and
apply it?
Cheers,

Well, what you do is you add +5 or -5 to the current _alpha value.
Meaning you will increase or decrease the current alpha value by 5. It's
like writing instance._alpha = instance._alpha - 5 (or + 5). Of course,
you can use some sort of loop to update all movieclips/stars i.e:
var starsCount
Ok Weyert...:) now I think I´ve got the point - each star would have a
different speed, so, they would blink at different time rates, right? And
with only one loop to achieve this, I would prevent myself of attaching an
onEnterFrame to each of the stars...

Hmmm... looking better at this loop, I don´t think it would do the smooth
fade-in/fade-out I would like to achieve. I guess the best solution still is
animating this fade-in/fade-out using the flash IDE and then do a play() in
the script. I would have only to add a line of script in the last
Well, the negative will make your movieclip fadeout, and a positive one
will fadein. But yes.

A method I've often used to get around this kind of processor hogging is to
set it up that only, say, 10 stars are animating at any one time (i.e. only
10 have onEnterFrame handlers set or even better, following Weyert's
suggestion, update only 10 at a time using a single onEnterFrame handler).
Hi Adrian! Thanks a lot for sharing your valuable experiences ;)
