help writing an PS action...

[rc]

I am trying to make an action and have come to a point where i want the end - user to read a message and then select a specific tool from the tool box and do something..

the showing of message i can handle, making the action stop is ok too...

the part ehere i want the tool (lets assume magnetic lasso) to be preselected is what i am trying to fig out.. is it possible to make that as the active tool bedore the user gets control back in an action...

any suggestions ...

The only way I can think of doing what you want - freeform interaction (seleting, drawing, etc) would be to cut your action into several actions. So, you have "My Action Part 1", when it ends you use the tool, then run "My Action Part 2" to finish.
