iOS: custom answer (UIAlertView) dialog?

[Bob Sneidar]

OIC! So it would be possible to set a global before the calling stack launches the "dialog", and have the dialog stack when it is returning control to the calling stack, lock messages, close itself, then open the stack stored in the global when it's finished and has saved all the user interaction in the dialogData. This would effectively prevent any initialization scripts or opencard/stack handlers from triggering when returning from the dialog stack. Would that do?
