I am just new to SVG and I would like to produce a flashing object as shown on code below. However I want the animate to be done on the fly. I have a file with xml for the ellipses and the flashing should happen after the ellipse preceding this one shown has just been altered. I want to do this using javascript but my code is failing to work.Please assist me if you can.
