Re: [flexcoders] Re: Popup windows behaving oddly (partial solution)
It'd help if I could search the code to find your answer... *ahem* Basically, the parent is used to to know where to create the popup. If you are having popups appear under other popups, it's probably because their parents differ. Things aren't linear. If you want linear, make all parents reference _root, or: mx.core.Application.application That way, you'll always have a common way of dealing with modality. I think the point of parent, though was those Views further up the chain probably generate more important events to be handled, and thus since their parents are further up the stack, the Windows in your face are assumed to be the most important. ...

[flexcoders] Re: Popup windows behaving oddly (partial solution)
This solution combined with Andrew Spaulding's suggestion (user _root as the parent in createPopUp and MovieClip(mx.core.Application.application) in centerPopUp seemsto be working. But neither alone is enough. FYI, in the cause where height="0", the page contained a form (and I've seen forms do some pretty bizarre things wrt to layout). --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Eric Raymond" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I can make the popup not appear behind the other windows if I get rid > of any height="0" settings on Text fields on the page (that combined > with visible=false allows me to hide various elements).

[flexcoders] Re: Popup windows behaving oddly (partial solution)
I can make the popup not appear behind the other windows if I get rid of any height="0" settings on Text fields on the page (that combined with visible=false allows me to hide various elements). Setting height="1" makes the problem go away! I'm not sure if this is a necessary or complete set of conditions. This appears to be a very strange Flex bug!
