Need something more substantial than Display Dialog

Hi,

I’m new to AS, and was wondering if there is any way more substantial than 'display dialog" that I can use to REALLY get the users attention, forcing them to acknowledge the box. I’m using this as part of a disk qouta setup, and I need the user to know he or she is going to get locked out/disconnected.

Thanks,
Andy Shooner

You can hide everything except your app, then display the dialog. You can also get here some sci-fi effects for OS 9:
