Alert() or Notification for set time

Question

HiWe are using scripts to auto design.There is a load time of around 3-5 seconds to complete the script and all of the changes.At present we have an alert() box which notifies once edits have been completed.The issue is it requires a click and an extra step.Is there a way to display a notification for example for 1 second and then it disappears.Almost like a timed alert() but without the OK button or ok button disabled?In standard javascript i would use something likesetTimeout( function ( ) { alert( "Design Complete!" ); }, 1000 ); //displays msg in 10 secondsThanks

warn("Design Complete!", 2000) 
var msg = warn("Design Complete!", 0) 
// alert()
// some code
// $.sleep(1000)
msg.close()
function warn(str, del) 
    { 
    try {
        var msg = new Window("palette", "", undefined, {resizeable: false, minimizeButton:false, maximizeButton: false, closeButton: false, closeOnKey: false} );
        msg.margins = [0, 10, 0, 10];
        msg.orientation = "column";
        msg.alignChildren = "center";
        msg.txt = msg.add("statictext", undefined, str);
        msg.txt.justify = "center";
        msg.onShow = function() 
            { 
            var min_len = 132;    
            var off = 2;    
            var xx = 60 +2*off;
            msg.layout.layout(true);
            var txt_width = msg.txt.size.width;
            msg.txt.bounds[0] = off;
            msg.txt.bounds[2] = txt_width + xx - 2*off;
            if (msg.txt.bounds[2] < min_len) msg.txt.bounds[2] = min_len;
            msg.layout.layout(true);
            }
        msg.show();
        
        if (del == undefined) del = 1000;
        if (del) 
            $.sleep(del);
        else 
            return msg;
    
        msg.close();                
        msg = null;
        }
    catch (e) { alert(e); throw(e); }
    }
