I had the exact same problem. I solved it by using move() instead of setting the x and y.
this.move((_root.width - this.width) / 2, (_root.height - this.height) / 2, false); I am calling this code on creationComplete in the popup class.

They are about 100 pixels apart on the y axis, on the x axis they line up. Clicking on the titlebar realigns them, but that is hardly the point. Any ideas ? BOb Yahoo!
