[flexcoders] Re: flex 1.5 : how to lock Application during popup creation process ?
You can set the 3rd parameter of createPopUp() to true to create a
modal popup, which will block input in everything in your app other
than the popup window:
var myPopUp = PopUpManager.createPopUp(parent, class, true, ...);
You can then center that popup with respect to any component with
centerPopUp(). For example, to center the popup in the application:
myPopup.centerPopUp(parentApplication);
Also, you can get a nice dimming effect for the app when a modal
popup is displayed by using the following:
new Color(myPopup.modalWindow).setRGB(0x33);

[flexcoders] Re: flex 1.5 : how to lock Application during popup creation process ?
You can create a global public variable Boolean that you set to true
when the window is open and set to false when it closeed.
var public isPoppedOpen : Boolean = false;
Then when a user clicks the button, set it to true.
Have logic in your window pop method that checks if this value is
true, if so, then do nothing.
Then in the close button of the PopUp Window, set the variable back to
false;
