Can i customize the javascript app.alert so it blinks or makes sound? And can it display everything in capital letters?

I have an adobe form, that if the required forms aren't filled out it displays an app.alert saying error the following required forms are not filled out. So one can I make this big and I was hoping I could make it blink or make it produce sound? My guess would be no but I am just curious. Also this error loops through the form and produces the empty required fields in the error, Is there anyway to make the required fields that are being pulled into this app alert capital letters? Any help would be appreciated it.

Thank you very much.

Blink: No.

Sound: There is a method that supposedly should do that, but I never saw it working. You can try it, though. The code is simply:

app.beep();

Make all the text in upper-case: You can set the dialog's text and title to whatever you want, so yes... But you can't change the built-in strings included in it.
