[flexcoders] Re: alert button order

Thanks for the tips.

I am going to write a new alert component - this might end up being  
super awesome now that I think about it. Oh the possibilities. :D

I guess you could use the PopUpManager class to create your own alert
style box.  You could then mimic all of the Alert functionality, but
have your own Alert box that could do whatever you want to with it. 
You could even add an OK/Yes button if you wanted :)

 Currently the alert's buttons read [yes] [no], however our entire app  
 has all our controls in reverse order [no] [yes]. This design decision  
 is reflected in 100's of places through out our app and for  
 consistence sake, we need to make alerts the same way. IMHO it seems  
 extremely far fetched that we would have to go to such extremes as re- 
 writing the alert class to put out buttons in a specific order.
 
 Is there something in the docs I am missing? Has anyone else  
 discovered this shortcoming? Any suggestions?
 
 Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

I often mimic Alert with a mxml component based on tileWindow, and just add
a static show method that calls out to PopupManager.createPopup() and
centrePopup(), it's easy as pie.
