I want to be a flasher.

[-=>JB<=-]

LiveCode supports the HyperCard 1.x XCMD model (which means that most XCMDs and XFCNs
that don’t display a window will work in LiveCode without modification)

If I remember correctly there was a Flash XCMD for hyperCard and the original Flash used may
have been an XCMD.  These did not call a window so why won't it work in LiveCode?
