Alex: I am not sure precisely how to do what you are suggesting.
What I currently do is to create modules for each panel, and use moduleloader to add them to the stage. Are you suggesting that instead I use PopUpManager instead of moduleLoader? For my existing application it seems like a lot of work, and just investigating the ramifications regarding intermodule communications and so on may be challenging. Are there any benefits/drawbacks of using non modal popups vs module loader other than the tab loop?
