Hi Kal,
I believe BJorn is talking about listening within your flex application for
the closeEvent generated from your popup window upon the event.
When your listener picks up the closeEvent,
within your mxml application you may make your function call to do your
state changing work
For Example:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.managers.PopUpManager
import mx.containers.TitleWindow;
import mx.events.CloseEvent;
private var myWindow:TitleWindow;
private function showWindow(event:Event):void {
myWindow = TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, TitleWindow));
myWindow.addEventListener(CloseEvent.CLOSE, closeHandler);
myWindow.showCloseButton = true;
}
private function closeHandler(event:CloseEvent):void
{
//do your application state changing
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
This creates a popup window instance, and then assigns a event listener to
actively listen for that specific closeEvent..
When it detects the event occurred it will execute the closeHandler
function, which you can control to do your bidding..
You probably won't be wanting to create your initial popup from within flex
actionscript anyways...
hopefully this helps some
