It'd help if I could search the code to find your answer...
*ahem*
Basically, the parent is used to to know where to create the popup. If you
are having popups appear under other popups, it's probably because their
parents differ. Things aren't linear.
If you want linear, make all parents reference _root, or:
mx.core.Application.application
That way, you'll always have a common way of dealing with modality. I think
the point of parent, though was those Views further up the chain probably
generate more important events to be handled, and thus since their parents
are further up the stack, the Windows in your face are assumed to be the
most important.
... I gave up looking for centerPopUp in the Flex For Flash classes...

Well not always! For some strange reason the popup manager is very
sensative to the parent you pass in as a parameter.
Question: Does the popup manager use the parent for anything else?
Does it determine the z-depth of the window relative to other windows?
Does it associate the visibility of the popup to it's parent
(which may be in a viewstack)? My experience suggests the anwers is
"no" but that could just be pilot error.
