Default Add Annimation to Composer Button?

I have gone through the composer documentation, but could not find anything like what I am trying t do, which is . . .

I have created a button in composer, added a function to it, and exported it as svg to a theme I am playing around with. In using the button, thruns out the color is not quite bright enough to stand out in bright sunlight, so I would like to add a little flash, or something along those lines, to this button.

Anybody know how, or if, this can be done?

Repeated Flash or One time only flash? Either way its possible. Just don't want to drag you down the wrong path of what you're looking for.

One time flash only is all I am trying to accomplish.

Thanks for the reply . . .

Easiest way to accomplish what you are trying to do is to edit the actual button (this will keep the exported svg relatively small). Highlight your view and then right click and select edit. Once you are in the editing screen, you will see 4 sets of frames that consist of 10 frames each in your animation view. Click file and import your image (that will be used for the flash). Place it where it needs to be (alignment wise). Now on the first set of frames, click the eyes to hide the image. On the second set of frrames, show the image. Third set is hide and the fourth set is hide.

Now on the second set is where you will have to specify what frames exactly will be showing the new image (flash) and in this case (only flashing once) you can make it show on the first frame and then hide on the second frame. Now hit scene (near the top) and your done making the button with animated flash.

Thanks for the tutorial. I was able to get it to work, but after all was said and done,. I didn't like the way it looked. DANG!

It did give me a couple of other ideas that I have yet to try, however, so all is not in vain - yet.

Thanks again all the same.
