Not sure how best to make a complex graphic

i'm creating world map consisting of dot grid. i'd have colors of dots change (sparkle) animate of dots pulse , enlarge.

 

this first edge project. started svg graphic , began adding colored elipses in edge, using base graphic guide. haven't begun animate or change dot colors , it's quite tedious.  don't mind doing it, i'd know if there's easier way me go this. uploading screenshot of stage area in progress.

 

i appreciate advice or can give me. (of course) tight deadline , i'm learning build plane while i'm flying it.  in advance

hi there, may able save time dynamically adding dot symbols stage. see thread more info:

this example shows particle system, may able reuse stuff well. in order position dots, create object array store teh point locations, run loop iterate through array, , create dynamic symbol, , position according each element in array.

here's psuedo code put on stage.compositionready:

 

var array_positions = [{x:50, y:40}, {x:53, y:56}, {x:90, y:81}, etc];

 

for (var i=-0; i<array_positions.length; i++)

{

    var dot = sym.createchildsymbol("mydot", "stage");

     var dotelement = dot.getsymbolelement();

    dotelement.css({left:array_positions[i].x, top:array_positions[i].y});

}

 

and here example of how change color of shape inside symbol, can reuse 1 symbol different colored dots:
