Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2: popup depth management
To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com
What I want is the dragging function of those windows created by PopUpManager. My own dragging implementation is buggy and has a lot of flicker. Granted, I don't know the ins and outs of flex graphics and mouse API. However, I know exactly what I'd do in Flash, unfortunately!

Hello,
I am going out on a limb here and would love someone to correct me if I am wrong.
"The PopUpManager singleton class creates new top-level windows and places or removes those windows from the layer on top of all other visible windows. See the SystemManager for a description of the layering. It is used for popup dialogs, menus, and dropdowns in ComboBox and similar components. " - LiveDocs
When even using Flash, the PopUpManager class was not designed to actually create a window array. A popup is different from actual 'windows'. A window array is it's own reality all together.
Use the PopUpManager for things that need to 'catch' users focus because of some interaction by them.
For what you are doing, I would say create a component IE Panel like your where, create a quasi manager and use addChild(), addChildAt(), setChildIndex() which is just like using setDpeth() now.
Play with the Windows that way.
If I am wrong, I guess I do not fully understand the implied implementation of the PopUpManager.
Peace, Mike

private var p1:IFlexDisplayObject;
private var p2:IFlexDisplayObject;
private function init() {
p1 = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, comps.TestPanel, false);
p2 = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, comps.TestPanel, false);
}
I want to be able to overlap popups and exchange their depths, so the one clicked overlaps all others.
