When you create the window, you can
specify its’ modality (I think it is the 3rd parameter on the
createPopUp method, it’s a Boolean value). Try setting the modality
to false. A modal window is the topmost window in a flex application.
I have had similar issues with modal windows… This may not work,
but it is worth a try.

1.5 using Cairngorm Framework) MenuBars in PopUps not Working
Dustin,
Thanks for that suggestion - it proved that the
problem is indeed that
the menu is showing up beneath my window. Another
strange thing is
that none of the items are selectable when I run
my mouse cursor over
them. How would I get the menu to stop showing up
beneath my window?
----------
Renaun,
PopUp.mxml's top component is an <mx:Panel>.
Main.mxml allows the user
to open any number of different windows (I gave
them generic names for
this example, obviously, but they are all smaller
parts of a large
application) in which the user will execute
different tasks. Also, I
do have my AS function inside of
<mx:Script><![CDATA[ ]></mx:Script>
tags.
----------
Thank you both. =)
