Not so fast Doug! Here is a full example: Tracy

You've got a click event specified for that button that you have on stage that says "Login or Register". That click event calls some function that calls PopupManager.createPopup, which creates a modal popup. All you need to change is to use the creationComplete event of the Application, as opposed to the click event of the Button. So you've got something like <mx:Button label="Login or Register" click="launchPopup(event)" /> and just take out the click event and make the application tag look something like <mx:Application creationComplete="launchPopup(event)" /> Cool? Easiest $100 ever made. jonalexander370 wrote: Hi Jeff, Thank you for your reply. What sample code in the Flex docs? I am studying via www.lynda.com.
