How to make a button flash or blink?

Question

I am trying to change a button\'s color (just a flash/blink) to green when a scan is correct and red when there\'s a problem. I am able to do this with a view like so

Answer 1

Swift 3.0

func btnFlash_Clicked(sender: AnyObject) {

    if !flashing{
        callButton.alpha = 1.0
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 0.0, options: [.allowUserInteraction], animations: {() -> Void in
            callButton.alpha = 0.5
        }, completion: {(finished: Bool) -> Void in
        })

        flashing = true
    }
    else{
        flashing = false
        callButton.alpha = 0.5
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 0.0, options: [.allowUserInteraction], animations: {() -> Void in
            callButton.alpha = 1.0
        }, completion: {(finished: Bool) -> Void in
        })
    }
}
