Popups use a depth that is usually set aside for things that are modal. Menus' and ComboBox menus tend to go under that so already you can see the problem.
If you are using Menu, not MenuBar, I'm not sure but you may be-able to put that in a PopUp too? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rajesh Jayabalan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 2:53 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: DepthManager Hi, I am doing something similar now, since I am maintaining a list of all the windows, I can go thru them and findout which one is on top currently and use the setabovemethod. Using this sometimes windows blackout, and the control is in a different window, and I will need to start fresh. Also the menu and menubar in the application are appearing below the windows, everytime the window is moved up by me in code (use setdepthabove) I can set the menu and menubar above this (unneceaary should have been the default behaviour) but I cannot control the menu depth when user clicks on the tile of the window.
