Best way to "flash" a feature

#1

My users are going to be working with a lot of features across the map, and when they give a certain feature name to my app, they want that feature to flash so they know where it is. Is there any built in mechanism in ThinkGeo that does this already? I was thinking of doing something similar to what was posted here: Flash a feature

I would add the given feature to a highlight layer, then on a timer change color in the style of that layer every few seconds. Would this be the most efficient way?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

Highlight the feature and modify style by timer is a solution, besides that I think you can try to build a special layer with flash icon as its style, you can find a existing picture from network and did a quickly test to see whether it works for your scenario.

Thanks for the response! What do you mean by “find an existing picture from the network” ?

Hi Dan,

I means you can use any picture for test, to see whether this way works.
