ugly.bg.flash for Max/MSP

  This patcher and it's help patch can be found here.

Cycles an all white panel between 0.5 and 0.0 opacity for a 2 seconds.  Creating a visual flashing effect.  Place a panel over an Max object and attach this patcher to it.  You'll probably want to disable clicks for the panel.

Trigger the flash by sending a bang to the first inlet.  Adjust the amount of time to flash by sending a number to the second inlet.  Adjust the speed of the flash by setting an update time to the third outlet (lower is faster here).

I use this to flash a UI element that just recieved input from the outside world, Ableton or my MIDI controller.
