RE: [flexcoders] Internal popups

Hmm… still not what I’m looking for.  I guess what I would like is for something like this (what the previous responder sent) to work:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml">

         <mx:Button click="toggleVis()" label="click me"/>

         <mx:TitleWindow id="tw" title="Some title">

                 <mx:Label text="hi there"/>

         </mx:TitleWindow>

         <mx:Script>

         <![CDATA[

                 function toggleVis(){

                         tw.visible = !tw.visible;

                 }

 

         ]]>

         </mx:Script>

</mx:Application>

 

But I need the TitleWindow to behave not like a standard interface element (one that takes up space in the layout), but like a normal popup window, one that appears above the content at a specified location.

 

It looks like using another MXML file is the way to go…

Here's an example that uses createPopUp() to create a TextArea popup (no other file required):

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml">
<mx:Script>
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;

var app = mx.core.Application.application;
var a = mx.controls.TextArea;
var p:MovieClip;

 

function createTextAreaPopup() {
 p = PopUpManager.createPopUp(app,a,false,{ width:200,height:150,text:'Pop goes the weasel and the weasel goes pop' });
}

 

function destroyPopup() {
 p.deletePopUp();
}
</mx:Script>

 

<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" width="500" height="200">
 <mx:Button id="b1" label="Create TextArea Popup" click="createTextAreaPopup();" />
 <mx:Button id="b2" label="Destroy Popup" click="destroyPopup();" />
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Application>

It's compiled into the final SWF so there isn't technically a dependency.

 

However, if you want a simple popup, you could use an Alert.

 

check out Alert.show for that, and for loading internal components as popups, look up PopUpManager.createPopUp

I can’t find an example or description of how to use the TitleWindow component without it being in an external file.  Any pointers?

You probably want the TitleWindow component.

I’ve been scouring the documentation, but I can’t seem to find how to do something that should be quite simple.  How do I create a popup window that doesn’t reference an external file?  All examples point to loading in an external mxml file, but I would like to simply create a panel that is hidden on startup and have it hide / unhide on different events.  Is this possible?
