Let me see if I can explain it (And someone else can correct me if I am wrong).
In your application you create the loginForm: public var login:MyLoginForm = new MyLoginForm(); then with the button you add it to the display list: PopUpManager.addPopUp(login, this, true); When you close the popup: PopUpManager.removePopUp(this); Flex removes it from the Display List. Note that the loginForm object still exists (It is in the login variable). When you click the button again Flex puts the popup back on the display list and displays it. Anything a user has added to textinputs will still be there. There is no logic to save the state of combo boxes (Or check boxes or radio buttons...) so they will default back to the first item in the list. What you would need to do is add logic to save the state of these controls on the click of the close button and then re-instate these saved states when re-opening the loginForm.
