Alert is a subclass of Screen that behaves somewhat like a dialog. There are several standard Alert styles that can be used; the style is specified using an AlertType object which may be supplied when the Alert is constructed or using the setType() method.

An Alert has a title, a message, and an image. These attributes may be set at construction time or using the setTitle(), setString() and setImage() methods.
