I would like to confirm that the TitleWindow is automatically Draggable. I've heard this a couple times, and wanted to just test out a simple app, that contains only a Title Window. I also made sure that the Application container took 100% of the desktop space, in order to give space for which to drag the Title Window.
When running the app, I attempt to drag the Title Window - and nothing happens. I am in the beginning stages of creating popup windows, etc. and just wanted to experiment a little bit, before jumping into more advanced code. Or can a window only be dragged, if I use the PopUp manager class to instantiate the window? Just a little confused as to what I've been hearing. Could you all clarify that for me?

Just like the > Alert box - which is automatically dragable. [...] The TitleWindow is automatically draggable. The TitleWindow implements the Box layout by default. If you want to use some other layout, you can put all your stuff within another container inside your TitleWindow-derived class. Pseudocode for sample TitleWindow-based MXML component: <mx:TitleWindow> <mx:Tile> <!-- stuff --> <mx:Tile> </mx:TitleWindow> Then you can pop up the TitleWindow-based component using PopUpManager.createPopUp() > With all this said, is there anything I should keep in mind, when > selecting the proper containers (which will act like popup windows > with title bars), etc.? The only container that support automatic dragging is the TitleWindow. As mentioned above, you can wrap all your stuff inside a TitleWindow inside another container like Tile or Canvas to get the desired effect. > What is the proper method, of giving any type of window (or container > for that matter), the ability to be dragged around? TitleWindow is the best option. If you still want to write your own dragging code, here's an example of draggable images: http://www.flexauthority.com/Samples/delicious/WhatsCooking.mxml?version Checked=true http://manish.revise.org/flash/flex/delicious.zip Yahoo!
