I am making use of the dynamic template code described in this post. [http://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=44238&t=12212&f=70](http://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=44238&t=12212&f=70)

I am able to create templates, write to their custom properties, and place them any where I need at runtime using a project script however I’ve hit a few walls with what I’d like to do.  
My template contains an animated object, for example -an image that pulses by binding its width and height properties to a signal generator value. The animation does not work.  
Another example is a style customizer with an animation that just flashes between 2 colors. I can set the colors in the customizer no problem, but animations do not work.  
Is it possible to use component animations in templates that are added dynamically?

Another issue I have is expression bindings.  
I can bind the text of a label in my template to a Custom Property using the Property binding but if I reference custom properties in an Expression binding, this does not work.

Any help or insight is appreciated!
