Make VC Button Flash Mode Work with Fades

I've noticed when a VC button is in flash (momentary) mode, the scene doesn't fade in or fade out. I would like to be able to press a flash button, then when I release the button, the scene fades out.

Flash mode is ... like a flash: Boom and finish.

This can be done with a chaser and 2 cues.
Only problem is that you will have to push 2 times (unless you work with a loopback construction using a 'second push signal' in it's profile)

Update: I can now get the effect I want by putting only the one scene I want to fade out in a chaser, set the chaser to "single shot," and setting fade out to desired time. With a VC button, all I have to do is tap it one time and the scene will flash on and fade out. Because of the single shot mode in the chaser, the VC button will turn irself off. No need to double tap the button.
