This is an HBox MXML component.
SnippetPane.mxml (This mxml gets loaded in an HBox in the MainApp.mxml file so there IS nesting of mxml components going on here. That is the only difference I can see).

I have tried the creationComplete in 3 spots. Yes, I know I shouldn't even have to do that with center popup.
With these two mxml files and a parent mxml application, you should be able to recreate it. I CANNOT get it to work what ever I do.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex2 :: PopUpManager.centerPopUp() :: not working
Hi,
I have used this method before in Beta 2, and now it is not centering.
The PopUpManager looks like it thinks the TitleWindow width & height are 0,0.
I have tried putting the call in the creationComplete event, setting the height and width explictly on the TitleWindow. Nothing works.
I searched the list to see if this was an occuring problem and found nothing.
Any thoughts? Other than in this instance I have to manually calc the center and set the windows position.
Peace, Mike
