I've done several fake dialogs. The trick is to group the dialog with a a
semi-transparent full screen graphic layered behind the dialog group.
Greying the screen is normal behavior on Android and works on iOS too. The
graphic has blocker mouse handlers so clicking it does nothing. That way
you can script the dialog buttons to respond themselves. The user needs to
click one of the buttons to make the dialog go away, at which point you
hide the group.
The buttons can put the response in the dialogData, which is a built in
mechanism to transfer custom messages to a script, or else you can put the
response in a global or a custom property.

I’m having trouble with an app that up until now has just been for iOS.
Most of the changes have been pretty straight forward but I’ve encountered
a specific case where touching a button doesn’t pass the touch message to
the button being tapped… unless I touch significantly below the button (I
also had to switch from mouse messages to touch messages in this particular
case.) This is not a general issue. It only happens when I show a group
containing the buttons in question and while this group is displayed there
is repeat loop running that includes “wait with messages” (I’m faking a
modal dialog.) I encountered this once before under the same circumstances
(a fake modal dialog while moving an iOS app to Android) and simply
switched to using the built in dialog. Unfortunately, that won’t work in
this case. Any thoughts?
