Yes we are using overlapping windows. Maybe I misunderstand the question, but isn't the point of popup windows to allow overlapping windows? Simple test case? Not yet. Just one huge app. Sometimes the pops work just fine. Other times they don't. All the windows I'm popping up are derived fr

The parent of the popup is set to "this". We pass no arguments to centerPopup. According to the docs this uses the parent specified in createPopup. (But I've also tried it with "this" to no avail.) Yes, I understand that it is hard to dig in without a test case. Sadly popups work well in some

I have had similar experiences where a popup appears to be shown behind the application, and by having modal transparency set, you can see that the popup method is called because the application dims out. I have also played with popups from an application loaded within mx:Loader and have also had w

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 c

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 s
