This seems like a simple thing to make, but it’s quite difficult as I haven’t fully understood how this Flash works (I know, I’m learning though as I go)

Okay. The scenario that I’m trying to make is something like a halo ring but instead of it being one big halo, it’s has small medium size dots formed into a circle (thus giving you a sort of halo effect) Get the picture so far? Okay

Next I’m trying to make the dots (10 total) fade in counter clock wise starting at the 1 o clock position and comes all the way to the 2 o clock position. I tried playing w/ masking w/ motion tween, even did a motion guide w/a masking (motion guide was in a movie clip) but I can’t get anything to work exactly the way I have it in my head.

Can anyone help? Please let me know if what I mentioned above made any sense.  
Thanks big time in advanced.
