GPS coordinates inputing a graphic?

[HectorChapa]

I am try to flash a graphic on the screen based on gps coordinates. This is my code that I have so far. But I dont know how to add a graphic.
How to make that point flash for a while then disappear. But this only adds a graphic for ever never leaves.

mainMap.scale = 3000;        mainMap.centerAt(WebMercatorUtil.geographicToWebMercator(new MapPoint(Number(txtlong.text), Number(txtlat.text))) as MapPoint);        var ptGraphic:Graphic = new Graphic(WebMercatorUtil.geographicToWebMercator(new MapPoint(Number(txtlong.text), Number(txtlat.text))) as MapPoint);        myGraphicsLayer.add(ptGraphic);
