for/loop question..

Add those buttons in an array (or Vector if you can use that) then just loop through it and start your effect on each button with a delay. Many tween engine give the option to delay the tween so increment a delay variable in the loop and pass it along with the tween, if you can't do that then use a timer to delay the start of the tween with same principle of incrementing timing variable then pass it to a new timer, ect .... Or you can do sequential also, when one effect finishes the next one start (gives you less freedom in timing the whole thing). Make a copy of your array (or Vector): mycopy = mymainarray.concat() then start your effect with the first button: startEffect(mycopy.shift()), when the effect is over start again until the array copy is empty:

function endOfEffect():void

{

     if(mycopy.length)

     {

          startEffect(mycopy.shift())

     }

}
