Alert with checkbox.

Question

Hi there,
I am using an alert window to ask my user if he wants to share stuff with Internet.
In the alert window there is a yes/no button.
I know how i can catch the button that's clicked, but now my problem;
In the alert window i want to have a checkbox with the option; save this settings.
So the user doesn't have to answer this question over and over again.
How do i get an alert window with a checkbox option in it, and how can i see whether that box is checked or not?
Please some help,
Greets, jacob

Thanx for helping me out!
I used a simple popup to create my own alert window.
Here my code:
alert_with_checkbox.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" xmlns:localcanvas="*">
<mx:Script>
     <![CDATA[
          import mx.core.Application;
          import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
          public var pop2:question;
          public function showpop():void
               pop2=new question();
               pop2 = question(PopUpManager.createPopUp(Application.application as Sprite,question,true));
               PopUpManager.centerPopUp(pop2);    
               pop2.settingno.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function (e:MouseEvent):void
                    //no is clicked
                    PopUpManager.removePopUp(pop2);
                    if(pop2.savesharecheck.selected==true)
                         //call to savesettings function here and save the no option.
               pop2.settingyes.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(e:MouseEvent):void
                    //yes is clicked
                    PopUpManager.removePopUp(pop2);
                    if(pop2.savesharecheck.selected==true)
                         //call to savesettings function here and save the yes option.
