Hi all (again),
I create a window with the following code:
_popUp = PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, Window, true, { title:"Error",
contentPath:"DialogueBox"});
(_popUp is defined but not instanciated at the very top of my class.)
When I create this, it is not visible and it does not have 'modal'
control of the screen (despite the 'true' above). My class creates lots
of components - but the pop up is the last thing it does (when I trigger
an 'error').
If i close the topmost item in the window, I can see the pop up. This
means that the pop up wasn't created at the highest depth like I was
expecting.
A simple for loop with a trace shows all depths:
movie clip 'depthChild0' is at depth 100
movie clip '_rbFocus' is at depth 13
movie clip '_rbDuration' is at depth 12
movie clip '_rbFrequency' is at depth 11
movie clip '_cancelOrder' is at depth 10
movie clip '_submitOrder' is at depth 9
movie clip 'website3' is at depth 8
movie clip 'website2' is at depth 7
movie clip 'website1' is at depth 6
movie clip 'website0' is at depth 5
movie clip 'option3' is at depth 4
movie clip 'option2' is at depth 3
movie clip 'option1' is at depth 2
movie clip 'option0' is at depth 1
depthChild0 is the popUp
it sure looks like it should be at top - yet it isn't.
Messing around with it, it turns out that if I swapDepth on the pop up
with depth 1048576 or higher, then it DOES appear on top - but it still
doesn't take modal control.
There are two things I'd appreciate help with here.
firstly, setting depth like that is poor style - why is my window NOT
appearing at the highest depth anyway?
secondly, why does it not take modal control?
Many thanks
David
