Not really.
[Quoted] The only real answer (I think) is to not do it.
Maybe an alternative would be to have the label blink.
I think the real question is WHY have it blink while the user is entering
data?
As a user, I would kill a developer that made my field blink while I was
entering data.
Wouldn't that be distracting???
