Just a side note.  We had a blinking location on our maps. The overwhelming comment was

"How do i turn the &()&*(^_(^ heartbeat off"

People, overwhelmingly , HATED it.

I'm happy to hear this. Animation for animation's sake usually isn't a good idea. Unless you have customers who absolutely demand it, you probably shouldn't do animated/pulsing map symbols.

This ^^^^^

We still use a pulsing symbol, but on the polygon not the centroid.  Plus it is disable-able with a cookie that remembers the preference.  We needed to keep it for situations where there is a large selection (say 10 polygons) but the info popup only relates to one of them.

Hi everybody,
   and if I would like to blink only some kind of symbols? for example the SimpleMarkSymbol must blink and a CartographicLineSymbol not.

Thank you again.

Have you considered putting a graphic on the map for a brief moment?
