change the text color and background color and it won't look as jittery.. red
text on black background, looks smoother.. not saying you have to use those
color combos, just saying try some out. I'll get back to you with the code,
I'm going to lunch.

import mx.transitions.easing.easeNone;
import mx.transitions.Tween;




var tw:Tween = new Tween(news_mc, "_xscale", Strong.easeeaseNone,
news_mc._xscale, 125, 2, true);
var tw2:Tween = new Tween(news_mc, "_yscale", Strong.easeeaseNone,
news_mc._yscale, 125, 2, true);
tw2.onMotionFinished = function() {
wait = setInterval(waiting, 2000);
function waiting() {
var tw3:Tween = new Tween(news_mc, "_xscale", Strong.easeeaseNone, 125, 0,
1, true);
var tw4:Tween = new Tween(news_mc, "_yscale", Strong.easeeaseNone, 125, 0,
1, true);
var tw5:Tween = new Tween(news_mc, "_alpha", Strong.easeeaseNone, 100, 0, 1,
true);
tw5.onMotionFinished = function() {
//insert new Tween here for another MC
};
clearInterval(wait);
}
};

very cool!!
I see where you put:
//insert new Tween here for another MC

How could I time-seperate the headlines? on the timeline?
BTW the end action still repeats -- in this case the zoom out from 125-0
2 sec pause > zoom/fade to zero > 2 sec pause > zoom/fade to zero

wonderful stuff thanks-

I think a 1 sec fade/zoom in looks best --look less jittery.
..so I changed that in the code and I changed the wait time to 4 sec.

Let me ask-- is there another motion, say a genle move to the left or right
that I can apply to the "wait time" so it doesnt look so static? would a move
like that look less jittery? In my experience it would

"2 sec pause > zoom/fade to zero > 2 sec pause > zoom/fade to zero"
this makes no sense, it hasn't happened to me, and there is nothing telling it
to do that, so it has to be on your end.

"Let me ask-- is there another motion, say a genle move to the left or right"
tween the _x or _y properties.
