How to make a "blinking" animation in XD?

[KevinK1]

Hi! 🙂

I have created a prototype to present a project to my professor.

Now I want to integrate a blinking/flashing fingerprint that blinks as long as he is on this page, so he knows that some boxes are clickable (additionally to the normal further/back buttons).

I cannot find any proper tutorial for this "problem".

Can anyone tell me how to create this kind of animation?

Thank you!!

Best,

Kevin

You can create this by duplicating the artboard and go backwards and forwards between them with time trigger. But there are hotspot hints in XD prototypes so that's not necessary?

Yes, this indeed does the trick. However, is there any method for leaving it to blink for few seconds, then to stop the blinking with some sort of time trigger?

I want to have this blinking active only for 3 seconds or so, and then go back to a single artboard.

Thank you,

I think you would need to use an animated gif for this type of solution.
Unfortunately XD doesn't support animated gifs at this point.
