Hey everybody,

I’m still pretty new to FLash and I was wondering how those fast, blinking animations like on this [site](http://www.mediatick.net/) are done? Is it just fast tweening with a lot of alphas or some kind of motionblur? I’ve been trying around a bit, but it just won’t turn out as smooth…
