That is exactly right. I missed the "popup panel" part. And systemmanager *is* where you would need to listen for a bubbling event from a pop-up.
We must assume the OP has a good reason for using bubbling events instead of listening directly to the popup instance.

Also, I assume he means that he uses the popupmanager to "create a popup panel". With that said, IIRC, the application is not in the bubbling chain and will never receive an event from a popup. Again, IIRC, you would need the eventlistener on the systemmanager as that is the base of a popup. Please correct me if I am wrong. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Tracy Spratt" <tspr...@...> wrote: > > First, tell us what you mean by "it doesn't work". > > > > Then: That looks ok, does it work with a base Event?
