Hi Joe,
Just modal your stack and use the dialogData property. For instance:
set the dialogData to data
-- preparing the dialog
modal stack MyAnsdwerDialog
-- use the dialogData in MyAnsdwerDialog preopenStack to set the
dialog as you wish: prompt, labels, etc.
-- execution will stop here
Joe, the 'modal' command is what you want, I think.
on mouseUp
modal stack someDialog
doSomething with the dialogData
put someMessage
end mouseUp
Assuming you have a substack someDialog, executing the above in a
btn script should open the dialog, wait for it to be closed, and then

Hi JB,
As png images with transparency (alpha channel) receive mouse
messages only in non transparent areas, here is a way to do the trick:
Open your original image in PhotoShop or any image editor you use and
erase all non hotspots places then save this modified image as a png.
Hotspots
Additional tip:
In the modified image (see below), you can replace all hotspots with
a solid color: the resulting png will be very light.
In such a case, the blend level of the image will be set to 100 but
can be changed to another well chosen value to show hotspots if needed.

Hi Eric, because it's also interesting for me I add a question. Assuming you

place (e.g. showing another image for each hotspot), how can you address the

Hi Tiemo,
You have many ways: it depends on the fact you have many hotspots
close from each other or not.
For instance if your hotspots are able to be conformed in a virtual
grid you can test the mouseLoc within this grid.

Why don't you use a modal dialog for this? You can script it so your code

That's very helpful.
So you can't really do anything with relative paths. You just have to keep
