Question

Is there a way to make the taskbar item flash in an AIR app? like it does in other applications to alert the user of a change.

Thanks!!

You need to call:

stage.nativeWindow.notifyUser(NotificationType.CRITICAL);

Just to put some more info, the notification types that can be used here are:

• NotificationType.CRITICAL: the window icon flashes until the
  user brings the window to the foreground.

• NotificationType.INFORMATIONAL: the window icon highlights by changing color.
