-{{tag>tag1 tag2 tag3}}
+There are two potential issues with the start/end-syntax used in this macro:
+  * this functionality is not supported in the Show Library, thus the macro needs to be moved/copied to another handle
+  * copying such macros breaks the functionality in versions before v16, hence the macro needs to be **moved** in this case

+  * ''<start>''/''<end>'' is used here to make sure this works only as long as the macro is being fired.
+  * ''Programmer.Editor.Fixtures.FlashOn()'' brings the selected fixtures to 100%
+  * ''Programmer.Editor.Fixtures.FlashOut()'' brings the selected fixtures to 0%
+  * ''Programmer.Editor.Fixtures.ClearFlas()'' clears the flash state of the fixtures and brings them back to their previous level.
 ===== How to use it =====
   - [[:macros:deploying|make this macro available]]
+  - select some fixtures and fire this macro in order to flash them full/out, without putting the value in the programmer
