Try switching around the links until you get it to work.

There are many ways to get the flashing lights, but the most common method
is to use a sensor with an off field of 1 or some other small number,
that way when the player enters the on area it automatically turns off,
unless the player is in the really small off field area, which is almost
impossible. Connect the dimmer to the sensor. You can then connect the 
dimmer to other lights to get those lights to flash or you could leave the
dimmer unlinked to other lights and that way it will effect the ambient,
and all the lights in the area will flash.

  A thing about the links that caught me:  Links in Abuse go from 
destination to source, not the other way round.
  Ie, if you link a button of some sort to a gate, you'll get nowhere, unless
you really want to change the status of the button based on the gate. You have 
to link the gate to the button.
  That said, I can't get edited levels working *at all*.  I either get an 
unlit level, or level with a start arrow but no player.  Patching existing
levels I can take, but starting from scratch.. nope.
