I want a sprite to flicker like an old neon sign. I imagine using tween with opacity and glow effects could be used, but I don't know how to make the flickering seem random and not rhythmically oscillate between on and off. Any thoughts on how to implement this?

Thanks

You could use a combination of a timer and randomly chosen opacities maybe?

Instead of setting the opacity instantly you could also start a tween there of course.

You can also do it without a timer and just tween to a randomly chosen opacity at a randomly chosen duration, and on tween finished do that again.

Just use the flash behavior set real low.
