PulseAnimation (inherits SequenceAnimation)

The PulseAnimation fades an element in and our repeatedly to create a pulsating effect. The iterations determines how many pulses there will be (which defaults to three, but it will repeat infinitely if given zero or less). The duration property defines the duration of each fade in or fade out, not the duration of the animation as a whole.

Client properties

Name	Description
forceLayoutInIE	Whether or not we should force a layout to be created for Internet Explorer by giving it a width and setting its background color (the latter is required in case the user has ClearType enabled). The default value is true. This is obviously ignored when working in other browsers.
maximumOpacity	Maximum opacity to use when fading in or out. Its value can range from between 0 to 1. The default value is 1.
minimumOpacity	Minimum opacity to use when fading in or out. Its value can range from between 0 to 1. The default value is 0.
