addPopUp | () | method |
public static function addPopUp(window:IFlexDisplayObject, parent:DisplayObject, modal:Boolean = false, childList:String = null, moduleFactory:IFlexModuleFactory = null):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Pops up a top-level window.
It is good practice to call removePopUp() to remove popups
created by using the addPopUp() method.
If the class implements IFocusManagerContainer, the window will have its
own FocusManager so that, if the user uses the TAB key to navigate between
controls, only the controls in the window will be accessed.
Example
var tw:TitleWindow = new TitleWindow();
tw.title = "My Title";
mx.managers.PopUpManager.addPopUp(tw, pnl, false);
Creates a popup window using the tw instance of the
TitleWindow class and pnl as the Sprite for determining
where to place the popup.
It is defined to be a non-modal window.
Parameters
window:IFlexDisplayObject — The IFlexDisplayObject to be popped up.
| |
parent:DisplayObject — DisplayObject to be used for determining which SystemManager's layers
to use and optionally the reference point for centering the new
top level window. It may not be the actual parent of the popup as all popups
are parented by the SystemManager.
| |
modal:Boolean (default = false)true, the window is modal which means that
the user will not be able to interact with other popups until the window
is removed.
| |
childList:String (default = null)PopUpManagerChildList.APPLICATION,
PopUpManagerChildList.POPUP,
or PopUpManagerChildList.PARENT (default).

moduleFactory:IFlexModuleFactory (default = null) |
