Google Spreadsheet - how to add confirmation msg box before executing script

Question

I would like to add a confirmation message box to appear before the script runs.

Here is the script:

function moveTo(e) {
// moves a row from a sheet to another when a magic value is entered in a column
// adjust the following variables to fit your needs try {

var sheetNameToWatch = "Active Discs";
var columnNumberToWatch = 15; // column A = 1, B = 2, etc.
var valueToWatch = "Completed";
var sheetNameToMoveTheRowTo = "CompletedShipped Projects";


var ss = e.source;
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var range = e.range;

if (sheet.getName() == sheetNameToWatch && range.columnStart == columnNumberToWatch && e.value == valueToWatch) {

  var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName(sheetNameToMoveTheRowTo);
  var targetRange = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
  sheet.getRange(range.getRow(), 1, 1, sheet.getLastColumn()).moveTo(targetRange);
  sheet.deleteRow(range.getRow());
}
} catch (error) { Logger.log(error)
}

The message box would contain the following message set-up: The message should read "Do you confirm to move Ocean Gil to Completed Shipped Projects Sheet?"

var app = UiApp.createApplication().setHeight(150).setWidth(250);
var msg = "Do you confirm to move " + "Active row cells A + B" + " to Completed Shipped   Projects Sheet?";
app.setTitle("Please Confirm this Action");
app.add(app.createVerticalPanel().add(app.createLabel(msg)));
var doc = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
doc.show(app);
}

If the person choose yes, then the "moveTo" script executes. If no, then script does nothing and closes the prompt window.

Here is the shared Google Spreadsheet.

Any help with code would be much appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

It would probably be more easy and compact to use the Browser class in this case, see doc here with example code

EDIT : in you code you can use it like this for example :

function moveTo(e) {
// moves a row from a sheet to another when a magic value is entered in a column
// adjust the following variables to fit your needs try {

var sheetNameToWatch = "Active Discs";
var columnNumberToWatch = 15; // column A = 1, B = 2, etc.
var valueToWatch = "Completed";
var sheetNameToMoveTheRowTo = "CompletedShipped Projects";

  try{
var ss = e.source;
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var range = e.range;

if (sheet.getName() == sheetNameToWatch && range.columnStart == columnNumberToWatch && e.value == valueToWatch) {
  var confirm = Browser.msgBox('Do you want to move data to the other sheet ?', Browser.Buttons.YES_NO); 
  if(confirm!='yes'){return};// if user click NO then exit the function, else move data
  var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName(sheetNameToMoveTheRowTo);
  var targetRange = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
  sheet.getRange(range.getRow(), 1, 1, sheet.getLastColumn()).moveTo(targetRange);
  sheet.deleteRow(range.getRow());
}
  } catch (error) { Logger.log(error)}
}
