==Rx/Tx Flasher component==
Simple indicator panel intended as a sub-component of communications components. The two arrow shapes  can be set to flash by the host component to represent incoming and outgoing data packets. The panel can be labelled and use a custom icon for easy identification.  The icon area can be set to open a pre-defined console window when clicked. LEDs can also be flashed by sending the component a User Notify event.  Event 'Message ID' is ignored.  Data should be:  1, to flash to Rx LED or 2 to flash the Tx LED.
