Here's one way to position ask/answer dialogs on desktop:
[ in your stack script ]
on suspendStack
if "ask dialog" is among the lines of the openStacks then
set the loc of stack "ask dialog" to the loc of me
end if
end suspendStack
on suspendStack
if "answer dialog" is among the lines of the openStacks then
set the loc of stack "answer dialog" to the loc of me
end if
end suspendStack
( can replace "loc of me" with any desired screenLoc )
On Windows and Linux centering to the topstack is already the default
behavior.
On OS X, if an alert applies application-wide the HIG suggest the
standard alert location (horizontally centered, 2/5 of the way down from
the top vertically).
When you need an answer dialog to apply to a single window, you can get
both enhanced behavior and window-specific location using the "as sheet"
modifier:
answer "Something" as sheet
Not only will this use OS X's recommended sheet appearance, but on all
platforms the alert box will be modal only to the stack over which is
appears, allowing the user to continue to interact with other windows.
That said, from time to time we're asked to do things outside of the HIG
recommendations, and there's a request for being able to set the loc of
the ask and answer dialogs in the RQCC:
