How to create a file selector dialog like Mocha In AE Plugin

[baconssu]

I want to make a file selector like this, but i don't find any suite func doing with it.
is that "PF_OutFlag_I_DO_DIALOG"  related?
Any starting point to achieve this goal will be appreciate.

It's most definitely a custom dialog and the actual data is being transfered as some other structure not within the dialog loop.

Thanks, Do you know how to make AE unavailable, when the window pops up.

You can suppress UI updates within the custom UI call, which is the default behavior, anyway, I believe.

Easiest way is to use a javascript prompt.
