[flexcoders] Exit effect for popup when being removed

2008-08-26 Thread Boon Chew 
Hi,

What's the best way to have a popup menu play an exit effect when it is about 
to be removed by PopUpManager.removePopUp?

Should we play the effect first (say dissolve or wipe up), then on effect end 
call  removePopUp, or is there a more direct / simpler way?

Sorry, forgot to mention, the effects exit code has to be in a method body of 
actionscript code (as in effect.play( ), .etc.) when the popup is being 
removed, instead of just associating an effect instance with the removedEfffect 
style.  I have tried listening to FlexEvent.REMOVED and run the  exit effect 
handler there but that doesn't seem to work.

I'd consider hide effect then removal
