Can someone assist me in creating a dashed box that scrolls in a loop. I want to use it to highlight a flow-chart process box. So to be clear, I need a rectangular box with dashed lines. I would like the dashes to move continuously in a looped motion.

I agree with Lieve. The easiest way to do this would be to create a looping animated GIF. You would probably only need it to have two or perhaps three frames. Each would have the dashes in a slightly different position. When played continuously it would look like the dashes are moving around the border of the shape.

You could create an animated GIF or an OAM and insert it as animation which can be set to loop.

Another possibility, but it may be less smooth is to create multistate rectangular shape where the state mimick the movement and use an eternal While loop to switch between states.
