Modal shouldn't disable other components (i.e. it shouldn't set enabled to false on the components as it will then change their skin state) it just places a mouse blocker above all content but below your popup, you'd want this on mobile though i would have thought. You'd also want to make sure the Alert appear above all other content.

These 2 things are what PopUpManager takes care of for you. If you don't use PopUpManager it will still get included, as it's instantiated in SystemManager.

Modal, in my mind would should disable everything that is not within that
component.  Do you understand it to be something else?

Mobile wouldn't use modal, and need to make sure its sitting on top of any
other content?

I wouldn't mind switching it over to a SkinablePopUpComponent. I'll set
that as a goal.

My only thought on having two versions (a MobileAlert and an Alert) is
that
the MobileAlert would cut out some functionality in order to be a bit
quicker (for example, not launching via the PopUpManager, because we
really
wouldn't use any of that functionality other than the ability to display the component). I also have the ability to switch skins based on the OS automatically to make it look more native, which would be harder if they
were all one.

I immediately noticed when looking at this is that it extends
SkinnablePopUpContainer.

In my mind an Alert isn't a container. You do not create one and then put
contents in it, and therefore you get unnecessary overhead with the
container, and from outside the API will look like you can add elements
to
it.

I would suggest we add a SkinnablePopUpComponent, then and Alert can be added on top of that. Then do we need a MobileAlert and Alert, or can we
not just have a different skin for the 2 versions?

Hi,


So far I think we mostly agree that having real URLs is nice but have no
idea what those URL should be.

Are spilt if we should have a small or large number of new namespaces.

The one I've currently committed is http://www.apache.org/flex (look in flex-config.template.xml and/or flex-config.xml) so until we come up
with
something better that what it will be.

Thanks,
Justin
