I’ve been working on this for some time and I can’t figure out how to make it work. If someone could give me instructions or point me in the right direction please.

I want the Oil Pump Jack Symbol that comes with Symbol Factory to just go up and down(animated) according to a “Bool Tag”.

Example it “Bool Tag” = 1 symbol will move up and down over and over again until “Bool Tag” = 0 at which point the animation would stop.

You can use a Timer.  
Bind the **Y** property of the Oil Pump Jack Symbol ( I didn’t found this specific symbol, but I saw all the symbols have the **Y** property ) to the **Value** of the Timer. Then bind the boolean TAG to the **Running?** property of the Timer and there you go.

PS: Change the others Timer properties accordingly
