I have had similar experiences where a popup appears to be shown
behind the application, and by having modal transparency set, you can
see that the popup method is called because the application dims out.
I have also played with popups from an application loaded within
mx:Loader and have also had weird behaviour.
As a result of these my createPopUp method uses _root as the parent
movie clip, and the reference movieclip for centrePopUp is
mx.core.Application.application ...
maybe try the following:
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
public function showPopUp( window:Object, vars:Object, h:Number,
w:Number ):Void
{
var popup = PopUpManager.createPopUp( _root, window, true, vars, true );
popup.width = w;
popup.height = h;
popup.centerPopUp( MovieClip(mx.core.Application.application) );
}
In the above showPopUp method I pass it the popup window, an init
object (if neccessary), and a height and width.
Try it and see how it goes,
