Constant animating items?

Is it possible to have items like a neon sign (Open sign for a store) that has a constant animation and requires no user interaction? It looks like the only way to have an animations ( or at least start one) is by giving the item a trigger. I would like for an item to constantly animated as soon as I put it in the map.

If the item skin is a movieclip with no stop() action on its timeline, it will animate as soon as it is rendered on the stage.

I tried what you suggested. After placing the item in the map it does not animate. Is there a certain property I have to enable on the item in the Openspace Editor?

I figured out that if you put "play();" in the first frame of the animations it fixes the issues :).
