Yes, something else is going on here. I do this regularly in a Login popup where I pre-set the User Id from a value in a SharedObject.

Did you debug into the call? I would expect that to work. In the event example, you dispatched off of Application, but listened from the PopUp. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of j301c Sent: Saturday, November 10, 2007 8:56 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How to call methods on popupwindow after its PopUpManager.centerPopUp is called That would make sense and I really wish it worked that way, however, that is not the case. Here is a short code example. in CustomTitleWindow.mxml... public function doSomething():void { this.someElement.visible = true; } in Application.mxml... function callFunctionAfterCenterPopUp() { //create popup, cast to CustomTitleWindow cTitleWindow = CustomTitleWidnow(PopUpManager.createPopUp (this,CustomTitleWindow,false)); //center popup PopUpManager.centerPopUp(cTitleWindow); //call method within CustomTitleWindow class on popupwindow reference cTitleWindow.doSomething();//nothing happens } It also seems that events do not bubble over to pop-up windows. in CustomTitleWindow.mxml... //called on creation complete public function init():void { this.addEventListener("somethingHappened", doSomething); } in Application.mxml... //called when a button is clicked for example public function causeEvent():void { dispatchEvent(new Event("somethingHappened", true, false)); } --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes, you can call methods on your popup at any time.
