Is there a way to let 10 objects on the same window blink in unison? I read this post:  
[https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=10970&p=39641&hilit=blink#p39641](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=10970&p=39641&hilit=blink#p39641)  
It is dated back to 2007 and I really hope that in the meanwhile Inductive Automation found something better than that workaround.

Thanks,  
regards

Well… no.

The reason is that each component spawns its own timer(s). As you can imagine that makes it a bit more difficult.

There are a couple more workarounds in [this thread](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=54408#p54408) that may help take the sting out of it.

Reading back over that last post, I can see it I might have sounded a bit snippy at the top. Not my intention. 🙂 Sometimes my tongue-in-cheek style doesn’t come across well.
