++Adding to the discussion,
You're creating too much confusion. This is an unnecessary complication. NesaNurani and Try67 already answered all of this in your past threads. All you need to do is take a little break and sync-in with the overload of information.
What you're asking is all documented in page 74 of the Adobe Acrobat SDK JavaScript API
JavaScript™ for Acrobat® API Reference app methods --->>> see the section for "alert"
First off you don't need two buttons to accomplish the tasks that you've been struggling with.
Try67 explained to you that you need to define the IF conditions. This can all be done with a single button.
Second, the RED X that appears with your alert is normal and that is parameter that can be modified.
Note in the image below that I created a button and labeled it "SAVE/RESET". To the adjacent right see all the alert icon and buttons parameters that I've listed for you. You need to keep in mind how to employ these parameters in your script and how the users will interact with the alert messages provided.
And see my example script below using the references from Adobe JavaScript API Reference app methods :
// A MouseUp action
var nButton1 = app.alert({
cTitle: "HOW TO SAVE THIS DOCUMENT AND CLEAR THE FORM",
cMsg: "STOP! DO NOT CLEAR THIS FORM UNLESS YOU SAVE IT FIRST. \r\rIf you have not saved this document yet go ahead and click NO to save now, otherwise click YES to clear this form. \r\rWould you like to proceed and clear this form now?",
nIcon: 4, nType: 2
});
//if user clicks on YES button it will alert the user that it will reset and ask YES or NO to proceed
if ( nButton1 == 4 ) {
// clear and reset all the fields objects in this document
this.resetForm();
} else {
//if user clicks NO button it will alert user with instructions on how to save document
var nButton2 = app.alert({
cTitle: "SAVE THIS FORM",
cMsg: "This document will Save now.\r\rSave this form under Suspect Name: LAST, First & Date",
nIcon: 4, nType: 1
});
if ( nButton2 == 1) {
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
}
}
Create a new button for testing purposes and Copy this script and paste it in that button as a mouse up event.
Observe how the script alerts interact with the choices the user will make and let us know if this is what you asked for.
