I think the problem lies in your mxml component, the default titleBar color is transparent, hence it's pretty hard to drag it, try something like this in your TitleWindow component:
<mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*" layout="absolute" borderAlpha="1"
width="200" height="100" headerColors="[0xffcccc, 0xffeedd]">
<mx:Button label="test" />
</mx:TitleWindow>
note the borderAlpha setting will make sure the tileBar of the panel is opaque, and setting random colors will ensure the window is easily draggable.
I can use both method to create the pop up window (zz is the component above):
1. var b:zz = new zz();
PopUpManager.addPopUp(b, Application.application, false);
2. PopUpManager.createPopUp(Application.application, zz, false);

Thanks Jeremy.
I have tried Application.aplication as the parent and it did not
work. I cannot drag the window.
What is the difference between addPopup and createPopup ????
