You can always just move the Alert yourself...
private function popUpAlert():void{
var myMenu:Menu = new Menu();
var popUpButton:PopUpButton = new PopUpButton();
addChild(popUpButton);
popUpButton.x = this.width / 2;
popUpButton.y = this.height / 2;
var dp:Object = [{label: "Alpha"}, {label: "Beta"}, {label:
"Gamma"}];
myMenu.dataProvider = dp;
myMenu.selectedIndex = 0;
myMenu.addEventListener("itemClick", itemClickHandler);
popUpButton.popUp = myMenu;
}
private function itemClickHandler(evt:MenuEvent):void{
var alert:Alert = Alert.show("Are you sure? \n\n There is no
Un-Do",
'Delete *All Completed* ?',
Alert.YES| Alert.NO,
null,
responseToDeleteAllCompletedHandler,
null,
Alert.NO);
alert.move (parentDocument.width / 2 - alert.width/2,
parentDocument.height /2 - alert.height / 2);
}
private function
responseToDeleteAllCompletedHandler(evt:CloseEvent):void{
if(evt.detail == Alert.YES)
trace("Yes");
else
trace("No");
}
