A lil bit of help with random

i am really trying hard to learn action script, but i never took any classes in school, so i basicly learn from experience and from tutorials, but i was trying to figure out if i could make 12 movie clips stay in there position, but just randomly fade, all at seperate paces, it doesnt seem like it should be all that hard, i just get lost with math equations, so any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you…

the movie clips should have some kind of random code that could take them from an alpha of 0 to an alpha of 100, at least thats what i would think. i just wanted to clearafy what i ment by “randomly fade”
thanks again
