Hi Mark and Jaque,

Jacque-

Yes, you should be able to do it. Revolution has a global property
called the "icon" which, if set, specifies the icon that is displayed in the OS X dock. You could write a script that takes a snapshot of a small image containing the text you want to show, and then set the icon to the
id of that image. If you do this repeatedly using a "send in <time>"
structure, the icon would update dynamically.

!!!

and what is the correct syntax for this?

OS X, Rev 2.7, small image (32*32) with ID 1005,
which is on the card with the button!

I tried:

on mouseup
  set the icon to 1005
end mouseup

Error:
Type Can't find object
Object Button
Line set the icon to 1005
Hint 1005

on mouseup
  set icon to 1005
end mouseup

Error:
Type Can't find object
Object Button
Line set icon to 1005
Hint 1005

Next guess, since the docs state this is a global variable:

on mouseup
  global icon
  set icon to 1005
end mouseup

Error:
Type global: not a valid variable name
Object Button
Line global icon
Hint icon


Am I missing something obvious?
Does this only work in standalones
and not in the Rev IDE?

Any hints are very appreciated :-)
