Hi Shari, Run this in the AppleScript editor.
tell application "System Events" tell application processes repeat 2 times key code 28 using {command down, option down, control down} end repeat end tell end tell You could also store the script in a custom property and use the do as AppleScript command to run it. Enjoy :-) -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.5 for LiveCode here http://qurl.tk/ce On 23 dec 2010, at 15:58, Shari wrote: > For those of you who remember the Hypercard "flash" command, I've come up > with this solution. > > This works great on OSX and does not rely on creating a special graphic.
