A video would be helpful, yes, and also a screenshot of the blocks you’re using to display the images.

A few questions and thoughts:

1. Are those buttons added at design time or are they cloned buttons?
2. Are the visible, size, or text properties set using blocks or set during runtime?

If they are cloned buttons, my first guess would be an issue of [asynchronous execution](http://community.thunkable.com/t/wrapping-asynchronous-then-do-blocks-into-a-synchronous-function-resolves-unpredictable-results/910511). I know I’m a broken records about asynchronous functions, but they are almost always at the bottom of erratic/iirregular/unpredicable behaviors.

From default in the design

Wondering is this is caching/latency with Thunkable Live @funhall?

Does the same thing happen on the installed app?

Yep - thanks! For Thunkable Live the images and transmitted to your device whereas when it’s installed they already live on the device so there _shouldn’t_ be any flickering like this.

Got it. Let us know when the build completes, hopefully everything works as expected!
