A nicer way to do it involves creating a timer. Have the timer's method call setApplicationIconImage:. If your program gets hung up doing a bunch of processing, the timer won't fire and you'll have to do the processing in another thread to keep your UI responsive.

I have seen apps with animated dock icons while doing tasks (like Print
Center when printing a page). I have been trying to figure out how to do
this. I know they use a group of tiff files, and cycle through to animate,
but do you just spawn a new thread and use setApplicationIconImage? Or is
there a nicer way to do it?

Thanks,
Ben
