Hi guys,

I’ve got some simple stuff here and am questing after ways to streamline it. It seems like a lot of functions for what it is, and it’s like those award timers are dying for an array.

Any good ideas? Your advice and opinions are appreciated as always!

import caurina.transitions._;  
import caurina.transitions.properties._;  
var scopeTimer:Timer = new Timer(3000,1);  
scopeTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, scopePlay);  
var awardArray:Array = [ATL, Celeb, CTC, Joint, Solucient, Verispan, VHA];  
var len:int = awardArray.length;  
for (var i:int = 0; i \< len; i++)  
{  
awardArray\*.alpha = 0;  
};  
ColorShortcuts.init();  
scopeTimer.start();  
closerLook.alpha=0;  
function scopePlay(e:TimerEvent):void  
{  
Tweener.addTween (micro, {y:-240, time:10, transition:“easeInOutQuad”, onComplete:getBright});  
}  
function getBright():void  
{  
Tweener.addTween (micro, {\_brightness:3, time:1, transition:“linear”, onComplete:playText});  
}  
function playText():void  
{  
Tweener.addTween (closerLook, {alpha:1, time:1, transition:“linear”, onComplete:award1});  
}  
function award1():void  
{  
Tweener.addTween (ATL, {alpha:1, time:2, transition:“linear”, onComplete:award2});
