Create a custom 'flash screen' alert sound
Authored by: garydr on Jan 25, '07 02:07:28PM

I tried this and while it flashes the screen in both System prefernces Alerts and iCal Alarm, iCal doesn't remember the setting for the alarm. After I set "flash" as my Alarm and observe the flash, when i come back later to look at the setting for this event, the alarm has switched to something else. Any ideas?

'flash screen' w/ iCal

Actually, that's better than what happened when I tried, it crashed iCal.
And kept crashing it until I dragged the flash_screen.aiff out of the folder,
then it switched to funk.
If system alert is set to flash and alarm is set to open file, it can open
an applescript application that beeps. beep in applescript triggers the alert.
Maybe 3 beeps would be better == 3 flashes.
