Yes, the automatic dragging is available
when you use the PopUpManager, not just whenever it’s on screen. There
are examples out there of hooking up dragging capabilities without the popup
manager (http://coenraets.com/viewarticle.jsp?articleId=89
is one).

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?
Thanks,
Mike

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()

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.

TitleWindow is the best option. If you still
want to write your own
dragging code, here's an example of draggable
