Hi,

This is the sort of thing where you could get 10 people to do it and they=
'd do it in 10 different ways.  If you only have a few dots then it will =
probably be faster just to pre-comp / pre-render one flashing dot and the=
n offset them by hand.

If the dots don't need to fade up and fade down smoothly (ie just turn on=
 and off) then there's an old tutorial I did trying to explain expression=
s that could be relevant:
