Here's a snippet that contains a JavaScript dialog box I frequently use to control execution of my scripts. When I create a script that might take a long time to run, I add this dialog to the script and place it at various "pain points" at which I might want to cancel execution of the script. This way, if I see somethign going wrong, I can cancel the script; if everything's going well, I can tell the script to continue without displaying the dialog box.



//ScriptControlDialog.js 
var myRunScript = false; 
var myBreakScript = false; 
var myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"Script Control", canCancel: false}); 
with(myDialog.dialogColumns.add()){ 
	with(dialogRows.add()){ 
		staticTexts.add({staticLabel:""}); 
	} 
	with(myActionButtons = radiobuttonGroups.add()){ 
		radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Continue Script", checkedState:true}); 
		radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Run Script (do not display this dialog again)"}); 
		radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Stop Script"}); 
	} 
} 
for(myCounter = 0; myCounter<10; myCounter++){ 
	if(myRunScript == false){ 
		myDialog.dialogColumns.item(0).dialogRows.item(0).staticTexts.item(0).staticLabel = "myCounter = " + myCounter; 
		myDialog.show(); 
		switch(myActionButtons.selectedButton){ 
			case 0: 
				//Do nothing. 
				break; 
			case 1: 
				//Run the rest of the script without displaying the dialog. 
				myRunScript = true; 
				break; 
			case 2: 
				//Skip the rest of the script. 
				myBreakScript = true; 
				break; 
		} 
	} 
	if(myBreakScript == true){ 
		break; 
	} 
} 
myDialog.destroy(); 
alert("Done!");



Thanks,
