Hi Doug,
After looking at the Alert.as and AlertForm.as classes, I agree with Daniel. Subclassing this component, just to get html bullets, is probably not worth it. You would first have to extend AlertForm.as and override the createChildren function. Instead of textField.text = Alert(parent).text you would use textField.htmlText = Alert(parent).text. Then you would extend Alert.as and replace AlertForm with your new class. After all of this, you still wouldn't be able to embed the images using html. Because its, well...html. (note: alternately, you could use the <LI> html tag for bullets).
Another way is to create your own custom TitleWindow or Panel popup. Here you can use text and image controls, with a List or Repeater, to achieve the desired effect. This would allow you to use embedded images, but you would have to handle all of the button functions yourself. It doesn't seem to be getting easier, huh?
I guess that the method you choose depends on the use case. If you only need to show a message with an OK button, the second approach sounds easiest. If, however, you will need all of the built-in button functions of the Alert class, the first approach would be preferable. Either way, you are going to have to jump through some hoops. I personally prefer the first approach. It doesn't require you to reinvent the wheel and presents itself as a challenge to extend the framework.
Good Luck,
Tim Hoff
