Anyone know how to do that effect where it flashes, and blinks… Example, [www.fakepilot.com](http://www.fakepilot.com) its in the intro  
In that intro, it has that White Flash on the object, and its a cool effect, just dont know how to do it 🙂

It’s done, usually, in the time line of the object you want to flash. It works best when the movie is set to 24fps. You make about 4 keyframes (1 frame after the other, no gaps) on the time line of the movieclip/graphic that you want to flash and on the 1st and third keyframes you adjust the brightness to something like 90-100%. This gives the flashing effect when the movie is played. To adjust the brightness the object has to be a movie clip or graphic. It won’t work with normal vector art/text, unless you do the same thing by adjusting the colour.  
Hope that makes sense.
