Hello there,

I would like to have an Applescript (or another method) where, if I run it, it will stop the dock icon from flashing the names of people who have sent me messages. I have my messages come in through Growl so a lot of times (but not always) I just want to stop the dock icon from flashing. The simplest way to do this from my perspective is to activate the application then Command+Tab back, but I'm wondering if there's a cleaner way to do this through Applescript (such as just tell the application to stop flashing). Any thoughts? Thanks.

You can stop the name flashing altogether in the Events Preferences but I'm not sure how to stop it at a specific time.

Ya I definitely want it in general, I'd just like to be able to stop it at certain times when it's flashing with a command key, which I would set to run an Applescript through a quicksilver trigger.

I'm not the best at applescript but a simple one would be

Code: Select all

tell application Adium
activate
hide
end tell

No, it should be: I know, you just need quotation marks, but that makes all the difference.

Oh yeah whoops
