Dialogs

The Dialog offers as many text fields as you might need. Use Dialogs when you have a larger portion of text that you prefer to present in digestible chunks. The Dialog also offers you the opportunity to change the media for each individual text portion.

The name Dialog is somewhat misleading. This object should be used to present longer text information. There is no specific dialog quality to the object. A nice way to create a virtual dialog is presented here.

Text >850 characters might actually crash your cartridge, read this FAQ for details.

The disadvantage of Dialogs is that they do not offer any buttons (and no events).
