With input function I can chose period for that MA (prior plotting on the chart). That works fine, but... Now I would like to be able in custom MA indicator to chose also method from drop down list. Is it possible? Which function I should use?

Your code solves problem, but the result is not exactly what I was expecting. With "input" function I can simply edit the number, but I was thinking that I will be able to create ComboBox (drop down list) with all options (simple, exponential, etc...). Something similar to original MA indicator. See the picture. Can I do it in MetaStock?
