Prop 1, solenoid, LED lights, PIR

I've been looking around and haven't seen anything quite like this.
While finishing the large prop I have started a smaller hopefully less complicated prop. I believe all I need is a prop 1 to make this work. I want a 12volt LED light (Yellow) to be on at all times except when the prop trips.

1- Yellow LED 12v light is on
2- PIR activates
    Yellow LED goes out
    12 volt 400mA solenoid stays on 1 sec.
    2 12volt LEDs come on 1 sec.
    solenoid and 2 LEDs come on and go off together.
3- Yellow LED comes back on waiting for next cycle.
4- Need 20 second delay before the prop can recycle.
Thank you in advance.
Jim

This is REALLY easy -- using the PINS register we can update all the outputs with one line of code.

Thank you Jon.
I'll let you know how it does when I get the large prop out of the way and this one set up. Already thinking what to start next. These props are a lot funner when I can set them up to do multiple things and add sound.

OH I forgot, is it possible to make the 2 lights flicker while the prop is activated?
Thanks
Jim

Many things are possible, Jim -- the devil is in the details.   What does "flicker" mean to you?  You'll find that as you start writing your own programs you must be very specific.

Here's an update with my idea of "flickering."
