Glad I could help.
Popups are actually children of the system manager not the application. :) So
make sure you are listening in the right spot.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: TitleWindow Popup Question(s)
hi Vito,
Thanks a lot. This surely does work. The reason why my initialize events were
not firing is that I declared the popup window in an application scope
variable, so basically, it has alread been instantiated and not re-instantiated
when I make the call.
Another question though.
I think the TitleWindow when it is a popup window does not seem to be able to
make web service calls. I wonder why. After changing all the codes, I am
trying to retrieve a data from a web service from this popup TitleWindow but
nothing seems to happen.
Suggestions highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey there,
I'm not sure how you are creating your popup but I would recommend you do it
like this.
var popper:TestPopUp = new TestPopUp();
PopUpManager. addPopUp( popper,this) ;
PopUpManager. centerPopUp( popper);
Where TestPopUp is your TitleWindow Component. Then your creationComplete and
Initialize events will fire every time because you are creating a new reference.
You can reference the title of the title window inside it's self by calling
this.title.
//This code would go inside the TestPopUp.mxml which extends TitleWindow in my
example
> private function getTitleWindowTitle () :void
> {
> Alert.show(this. title);
> // I Should be able to display the Title of the title window in an alert

Hope that helps,
