So the above did indeed work exactly as intended, but now I’m thinking it would be better to minorly stagger the elements. It seems like I’d want to wiggle fadeStart, but I’m still a little iffy on how wiggle actually works. I’ve read the AE help on the arguments it needs, but the only value I seem to really get for the opacity is either 0 or 100. Can I bother you for some more help? 🙂
