WowAce

LibFlash implements frame fading and flashing. This library's methods are replacements for WoW's UIFlash and UIFade functions. The reason for this library is that those functions cause taint.

All durations are in seconds format, so 0.3 is equal to 300 milliseconds.

Usage:
local LibFlash = LibStub("LIbFlash")
local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
-- do things to the frame so it'll display
local background = LibFlash:New(frame)
background:FadeIn(.3, 0, 1)
