Yep - that's much better. Lots of ways to do this. Here's one:

button1:

on mouseUp
  set the IsFlashing of me to true
  send "flashme" to me in 25 ticks
end mouseUp

on flashme
  if the IsFlashing of button 1 then
    if the visible of me then
      hide me
    else
      show me
    end if
    send "flashme" to me in 25 ticks
  end if
end flashme


button 2:

on mouseUp
  set the IsFlashing of button 1 to false
end mouseUp
