I found this post, but changing the skin causes a different problem. https://www.flextras.com/blog/index.cfm/2012/5/1/Why-does-a-TextInput-appear-above-my-Popup-in-Flex-46
Changing the skinClass to spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin causes the input cursor to show up a good 80px to the right and when I start entering text, it shows up in prompt text gray color. There is something seriously wrong with that skin, at least when it's used in a mobile application. And, it doesn't solve the problem. The text still appears in front of the popup though it's now gray. If using this skin actually solved the z-order problem, I could create a custom skin and fix the display problems I just mentioned, but it doesn't so I won't. Thanks for your ideas.
