Hi I did an effect using a clip as a sky getting it an alph
However instead of aloha you can use your blinking movie clip to appear gradually according to the hour of day.

Hope this works for you

AS2 Code:

miDate = new Date();
var hora:Number = 0; //hora is hour

if (hora>0 && hora<12) {
    sky._alpha = 100-(hora*8);

} else if (hora>=12 && hora<15) {
    sky._alpha = hora;

} else if (hora>=15 && hora<18) {
    sky._alpha = hora*2;

} else if (hora>=18 && hora<21) {
    sky._alpha = hora*3;

} else if (hora>=21 && hora<24) {
    sky._alpha = hora*4;

}
