I'm not sure if this technique is frowned upon but...
You could have a new private var boolAlertContinue:Boolean = false;
In your alertHandler function, you would set it to true... boolAlertContinue
= true;
And after the Alert.show and before the if(myAlert == 1) you need to do a do
while loop...
do {
//Not sure if there's a 'dummy' command to prevent CPU hog so we'll
just check the time...
var dtmNow:Date = new Date();
}
while (boolAlertContinue);
or you could probably initialise your myAlert:int = null and in the do ...
while loop check for (myAlert != null)
