I understand what you mean. No, AppleScript doesn't do badging on its own.
Like most advanced stuff, you'll need to use Objective-C and "call method"
from AppleScript. Here's the link you need:

Subject: Re: Dock Icon
No, I expressed myself wrong?
I meant this: when you look at the icon of Mail.app you see a stamp.
But when you receive e.g. 5 new mails the icon gets a red star with a "5" in
it (this must be a lay-over or so)?
And my question was: can you do that with AppleScript? Or do you just have
to make all seperate icons?
Thanks for you help,
Jasper.
