Hi Roman,
Director comes with the MUI Dialog Xtra which will allow you to do
this kind of thing. I have personally used them a lot for all kinds of
projects. Lingo In A Nutshell has information about using them as does
the MM technotes. Some time ago, on Direct-L, I posted a handler that
makes creating the basic ones quite easy. You might search the
archives for the code. Go to the archives here:

There is also a complete downloadable document for this functionality

There are three articles on DOUG addressing this same issue. Go here:

NOTE - the required Xtra is NOT Shockwave compatible. If you need SW
dialogs you will neet to roll your own as MIAW's.
That said there are some Utilities available that will make the
process a LOT easier, especially if you have a complex dialog to lay
out. The MUIMaker Utility from UpdateStage is one of these.
MUI Maker enables you to visually design a dialog and then generates
the Lingo code for the dialog you create. You can place, resize and
position your choice of buttons, dropdown menus, sliders, checkboxes,
text fields and labels. One click on the Generate button creates all
of the Lingo code necessary to run the dialog and copies it into the
clipboard, ready to paste into a Director script. MUI Maker runs on a
PC, but the Lingo code it generates works in Director movies on both
the Mac and the PC to display dialogs native to the platform the movie
is running on.
Price: $99.00
Platforms: 32-bit Windows
(Utility runs on PC. Generated Lingo code works in either Mac or PC
movies)
Director versions supported: Director 6,7,8,8.5
