Chris--here is a snippet of code that I use to center my windows:
private function showActivationFormTitleWindow():void {
var newWindow:ActivationCodeTitleWindow =
ActivationCodeTitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp( this,
ActivationCodeTitleWindow , true));
centerWindow( newWindow );
}
private function centerWindow( window:TitleWindow ):void {
// Calculate position of TitleWindow in Application's
coordinates.
var curLoc:Point = new Point(0, 0);
var relocPoint:Point = parentDocument.localToGlobal( curLoc );
relocPoint.x += parentApplication.width/2 - window.width/2;
//we might be in a scroll window, so use the parents
height instead of our own
relocPoint.y += parentApplication.height/2 - window.height/2;
window.move( relocPoint.x, relocPoint.y );
}
