Andy,
Try this effect in the HAL skin. We are working on some cool button and panel effects. Create several buttons, then under the skin editor open up the Element Properties and select the general tab. Now type flash in the Visibility textbox field. The button should now flash, repeat this process and you should have some randomly flashing buttons on your screen. Use this to create lights or grafic elements that can flash. Use the button hide or show events to create other elements that can be triggered from users selections. Some other cool uses are 1. Draw attention to a function or button, 2. Make the now playing coverartwork flash on and off when music is playing, 3. Create a event that cycles through the weather and use the flash command to introduce a different location or daily-weekly forcasts, when the mute button is pressed you can make it flash. Lets see what others can do with this function.
Commands include:
1. Flash
2. Off
3. On
4. Flashon
5. Flashoff
