Why don't you just remove the procedure and all the references to it? This way you don't waste resources enabling then immediately disabling it.

he wants to stop it on a event like pressing a button

If you look at the code the tflash object is created like this:
Code:

flashprocessbutton:=tflash.create(false);


that means flashprocessbutton (a variable) gets the address of the newly created tflash object

now, in the buttonclick I have the code:
Code:

  if flashprocessbutton<>nil then
  begin
    flashprocessbutton.Terminate;
    flashprocessbutton:=nil;
  end;

It checks if the flash thread was created, and if so tell it to terminate (.terminate sets the terminated boolean to true) and clears the reference to it (and I see I forgot setting the freeonterminate boolean to true so a small mem leak here)

Then in the thread's while loop it will see terminated is true so exits the thread, and the cleanup code of the thread (after the loop) is executed which contains
Code:

mainform.Panel7.Color:=clBtnFace;

which sets the color to the main background


so, make a var (global or in mainform of type tflash) and give that the output of tflash.create(...);
then in the code you can do varname.terminate;
