This example shows you a message in a modal window like the Alert class; the difference is that you can skin the message window as you like using mxml.
The Application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" viewSourceURL="srcview/index.html">
<mx:Script>

</mx:Script>
<mx:HBox width="400" horizontalAlign="center">
<mx:Button label="btn1" click="{CustomAlert.show('hello from your custom alert!!','CUSTOM ALERT TITLE',null,handler)}" />

</mx:HBox>
<mx:TextArea id="reports" height="174" width="400"/>
