You will have to use the color fade animation using black and white color stops to do this.

It you can overlap the emissive part with a solid one. So you can use the fade animation.
Similar to the strobo effect post in this forum.

Like Rex, I'd recommend the color fade to do this. Quite a bit simpler and arguably more robust than multiple fade animations. Though, both will likely get you there.
