[flexcoders] Re: PopUpManager quick help
Let's see:
PopUpManager.createPopUp( cn, AddSubscriptionModal, true ) do follow:
* create AddSubscriptionModal. The constructor call
PopUpManager.centerPopUp( this ); This center the window to its parent.
Parent is not defined at present time - error
* add created window to canvas
the Canvas is not required - you can add the window to application just
like you added Canvas to it
this is fixed code - just move centerPopUp to Startup
public function Startup()
{
var asm:AddSubscriptionModal = PopUpManager.createPopUp(
Application.application as DisplayObject,
AddSubscriptionModal, true ) as
AddSubscriptionModal;
PopUpManager.centerPopUp( asm);
}
if you want to have self centered window handle add event

Re: [flexcoders] Re: PopUpManager quick help
its cool, i actually got it figured out for what i need. What i was looking for actually was to center the popup to the stage. so I just created this class that I extend from instead.. It makes sense now that if you want to center inside of the parent object, you use
PopUpManager.centerPopUp. or you can jsut specify the x and y, in this classes case, the stage width and height.package{ import mx.core.Application; import mx.containers.TitleWindow; import
mx.events.FlexEvent; import mx.events.ResizeEvent; /** * a class that handles centering itself in the entire application window, * does a center when the swf is resized, or when you call selfCenter
* from one of it's subclassed implementations */ public class SelfCenteringTitleWindowPopUp extends TitleWindow { /** * constructor */ public function SelfCenteringTitleWindowPopUp()
{ super(); addEventListener( FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, handleCreationComplete ); } /** * when the creation of the TitleWindow is complete, add listener for resize events
* @param fe */ protected function handleCreationComplete( fe:FlexEvent ):void { Application.application.addEventListener( ResizeEvent.RESIZE, selfCenterFromResize );
} /** * the resize event handler method, uses selfCenter * @param re */ protected function selfCenterFromResize( re:ResizeEvent ):void
{ selfCenter(); } /** * the method that does the centering of this popup */ protected function selfCenter():void {
x = ( Application.application.width - width ) / 2; y = ( Application.application.height - height ) / 2; } }}MXML:::
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="horizontal" creationComplete="initApp()">
import Startup; private function initApp():void { var st:Startup = new Startup(); } Startup.as:::
package{ import mx.managers.PopUpManager; import mx.containers.Canvas; import AddSubscriptionModal; public class Startup { public function Startup()
{ var cn:Canvas = new Canvas(); Application.application.addChild( cn ); var asm:AddSubscriptionModal = PopUpManager.createPopUp( cn, AddSubscriptionModal, true ) as AddSubscriptionModal;
} }}AddSubscriptionModal.as:::package{ import mx.managers.PopUpManager; import mx.events.CloseEvent; import SelfCenteringTitleWindowPopUp;
public class AddSubscriptionModal extends SelfCenteringTitleWindowPopUp { public function AddSubscriptionModal() { doInit(); addEventListener( CloseEvent.CLOSE
, handleCloseModal ); } private function doInit():void { title = "test"; showCloseButton = true; width = 400; height = 200;
selfCenter(); } private function handleCloseModal( ce:CloseEvent ):void { PopUpManager.removePopUp( this ); } }}

Re: [flexcoders] Re: PopUpManager quick help
doesnt seem to work correctly. It actually puts the popup in the negative window space. (see attachment)I wonder why it would do that. is it something to do with canvas / percentWidth / percentHeight. i've event tried commenting that out and it still only puts it at 0,0.

Hi Aaron,
This code will center the popup relative to the popups's parent. In
your case "cn".
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(asm);
