The "flash" that occurs when the clips change or pop in is a short tween in which the brightness of the clip is raised to 100, followed by the introduction of the new image.(or new clip).

You wouldn't have to use a tween though, you could use AS, which would probably be more reliable. Just set up something simple like:

onClipEvent ( enterFrame ) {

  this._alpha += 5;

  if ( this._alpha >= 90 ) {
    this._alpha -= 5;
  }

  if ( this._alpha <= 10 {
    this._alpha += 5;
  }

}

Of course you can change the rate of the blink by increasing or decreasing the 5, which is usually called your speed. You can also change how low and how high the alpha rises and drops.

To make it happen to a button, you just use on ( rollover ) {.
