Object animation

If I try to make an object animation (a blinking neon sign) nothing happens. I want it to continuously play throughout that scene. So far, I set up an action area, so when the player walks into the area (the start position) the animation plays, but I know it isnt supposed to work like that.
Thanks

If you want the animation associated with a scene object to start playing at the beginning of a scene then you need to make sure you specify it as the default animation in the properties tab of the object. Also you need to make sure you set the animation loop to infinite inside of the animations properties tab (cog icon thing).

Oh, I forgot that. Thanks.
