[CS3] Help With my code!

Well here is what I would probably do. Tweens are weird in that they are in fact reusable, but I have not found a way to create them without passing the initial parameters, which in turn stars the tween. So basically what I normally end up doing with them is creating them and then immediately stopping them, or create them with a starting and ending value that is the same (I do this when I will be customizing the values later). So if I understand you correctly, you want that sequence of tween to loop. I did not actually test this, but you can give it a try and see how it works for you:

var yellowTween:Tween = new Tween (circle_mc.yellow_mc, "alpha", None.easeInOut, 1 , 0 , 1 , true );
yellowTween.stop();
yellowTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FIN ISH, startBlue);
var blueTween:Tween = new Tween (circle_mc.blue_mc, "alpha", None.easeInOut, 1 , 0 , 1 , true );
blueTween.stop();
blueTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINIS H, startRed);
var redTween:Tween = new Tween (circle_mc.red_mc, "alpha", None.easeInOut, 1 , 0 , 1 , true);
redTween.stop()
blueTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINIS H, startYellow);
yellowTween.start();

function startBlue(event:TweenEvent):void
{
blueTween.start();
}
function startRed(event:TweenEvent):void
{
redTween.start()
}
function startYellow(event:TweenEvent):void
{
yellowTween.start();
}

by doing it this way you are reusing the tween objects and only assigning the event listeners once instead of recreating them and assigning them each time the TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH is triggered. Since each TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH triggers the next tween to start, you basically just set the loop up and let it run.

right heres the code so far

import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;


var yellowTween:Tween = new Tween (circle_mc.yellow_mc, "alpha", None.easeInOut, 1 , 0 , 1 , true );
yellowTween.stop();
yellowTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FIN ISH, startBlue);

var blueTween:Tween = new Tween (circle_mc.blue_mc, "alpha", None.easeInOut, 1 , 0 , 1 , true );
blueTween.stop();
blueTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINIS H, startRed);

var redTween:Tween = new Tween (circle_mc.red_mc, "alpha", None.easeInOut, 1 , 0 , 1 , true);
redTween.stop()
redTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH , startYellow);

yellowTween.start();

function startBlue(event:TweenEvent):void
{
blueTween.start();
}
function startRed(event:TweenEvent):void
{
redTween.start()
}
function startYellow(event:TweenEvent):void
{
yellowTween.start();
}

the first time it goes it loops over each other giving a sorta cross fade effect the second time is different

id like each to fade in straight after each other, and how do i slow them down?

my fla is attached if it helps to use my example
and the swf to view it

Thankyou very much for your help so far
