Why don't you try ttlwQuery.addEventListener(FlexEvent.SHOW, functionToSetFocus);
I'd also recommend not creating the titleWindow inside the loadQueryCanvas, it would be better to create as separate class which is a titlewindow that you can then create and show. See http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/08/16/creating-an-undraggable-titlewin dow-container-in-flex/ for an example if I'm not making sense J P.S I've know people to use private paste to show there code. http://privatepaste.com/ Handy especially as pasting code into an email normally makes it unreadable.

Kenneth: Thanks for the response. That is precisely how I have done it in the past as well. Unfortunately, I do not know how to create functions "on-the-fly." I am creating the entire object using AS code and then displaying it in a popup. Is there a way of creating a new function in an object as you create it? If so I could create an initApp() function and call it from creationComplete. Also is there a better way of posting code so that it doesn't lose its formatting?
