The <textzone> element has an "action" property that can be used, I presume, to for example blink the text:

<textzone action="songpos_remain 30000ms ? blink : off">

but then how do you specify the <text> child elements? I tried having <text> and <textselected> child elements as you would in a button that blinks its text but this didn't appear to work.

Textzone only supports <text>. To blink a text use <button> without any graphics
Alternatively you csn use textzone without action and then use,,

<text .... action="blink ? get_text '' : get_time"/>

Thank you for your prompt response. That works fine. So am I right in saying that if I want to have text that blinks between say white and grey then I have to use a <button> element and define the two text alternatives as <text> and <selectedtext> child elements (I got that by looking at the Remote default skin time display buttons)?

Yes, that is correct. The <button> gives you the option to use different text for "up" and "selected", so different colors, sizes etc, while textzone only provides 1x<text> line
Also, if you want to just blink a text, but no action to be triggered when clicked, you can have <button action="nothing">

There's another (IMHO better) way to do it:

<text color="`sonpos_remain 30000ms ? blink ? color 'red' : color 50% 'red' : color 'white'`" action="get_time"/>


action is better for cases like this:

<text color="white" action="key_lock ? get_text 'TEMPO' : master_tempo ? get_text 'TEMPO' : get_text 'PITCH' "/>

Thank you djdad and PhantomDeejay for your help. I got PhantomDeejay's suggestion working on my MacBook but not on my remote skin (iPad/iPhone). Is this expected? Using a dummy button as djdad suggested works fine on both.

Yes, iRemote skin engine does not feature everything main application skin engine has. Therefore for iRemote you'll have to use djdad's method.
