How do I make the top stack ignore the others?

2007-05-21 Thread LunchnMeets
Hi Everyone,

I want to open a smaller sized stack on top of a larger one. This stack needs 
to be dominant so that clicks to the stacks showing underneath are ignored. 
Is there a way to accomplish this?

What I’m trying to accomplish is making a dialog box instead of using the 
built in ask and answer commands.

With that in mind, I also need to know how to make a script delay its 
execution for the input to this custom dialog box.

modal stack whatever

I'd set a global or a custom property to false in the script, set it  
to true in the modal stack, and then use the form:


wait until gNameoftheprop is true with messages

in the delayed script.

Won't *modal stack whatever* pause the current script and wait for the 
modal dialog to be dismissed?   I believe that is how it works, so you 
don't need the global property and wait listed below.

Unless you use the trick outlined here:
