Blinkie Tuts

Ok, I don't think this has been asked lately other than the outside blinks, which I can do...and I haven't seen anything in the memories.

I used to make blinkies from pre-made bases in Animation shop when I first started with graphics and then I moved to Image Ready just guessing what to do slowly. I was wondering if anyone has made a tut or can find a tut on making blinkies. Some examples of the effects I am looking for are:

1) Template bases with empty blocks that are good for blinking
2) the beautifully designed blinkies created by so many of the LJ communities
3) even simple blinks that might flare up an icon

Like I said, I used to edit them to my specifications, but there isn't much I can really do in Image Ready, although I suppose this is just a call for all Image Ready animated style tuts...I love the animated stuff. ;) Also if anyone has anything on CS Image Ready that would be great, because I loaded it up last night and it was hella different than IR7. Hrm, unless I didn't have something checked properly. I hope this is allowed...hell even if someone can point me in the right direction that would be cool. I have never found any blinkie tuts on google after searching sadly :/
