Hi Simon,
I have personally used MUI Dialogs a lot for all kinds of projects and
it should be able to do what you need. Lingo In A Nutshell has
information about using them as does the MM technotes. You can search
the MM site for
MUI Xtra
Some time ago, on Direct-L, I posted a handler that makes creating the
basic ones quite easy. It does not do what you need, but it will give
you the idea. You might search the archives for the code. Go to the
archives here:

Search on:
handling the window close box hospers
There is also a complete downloadable document for MUI functionality
here

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

NOTE - the MUI 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
