you are talking about the taskbar window right? if you want to make that
blink like when a prog needs your attention, I'm afraid I don't think you can
do that.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the only way you can do that is by throwing up
a javascript alert or something when new messages come in but I don't think
that helps you. I would also be quite interested in this if there is a way.
I actually haven't used AIR since it was called Apollo and I'm totally just
BS'ing here, but can you create a mini air app to run in the system tray that
communicates with your flex app maybe? A message comes in thru Flash, gets
sent to AIR - then u can show a message in the sys tray to let the user know
they have new messages.... ? Sounds simple enough anyway (except for that
whole install process for all the users :)

Hi,
I was investigating, and couldnt find anything about this, the
thing is that i need to make the browser tab on windows blink, you know
flashing in orange for example, like a messenger window when a new messages
arrives... Its for a chat room where i need to know everytime a new message
arrives. There is someway i can do that with Flex or JavaScript?
