Found a little hack to change the transparency color, I don't think this is officialy supported (oops I did it again ;))
 
<mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" title="Logon" modalTransparency="50" creationComplete="var my_color:Color = new Color(this.modalWindow);my_color.setRGB(0xFF0000);">

Indeed I didn't try with a popup.
You can adjust the TitleWindow transparency with the 'modalTransparency' attribute, I found this in the doc:
 
 modalTransparency Type: Number   CSS Inheritance: yes
Modality is simulated by creating a large transparent window underneath the TitleWindow component. Due to the way transparent windows are rendered, you may notice a slight dimming of the objects under the transparent window. The effective transparency can be set by changing the modalTransparency value from 0 (fully transparent) to 100 (opaque). If you make the window partially transparent, you can also set the color of the window by changing the Modal skin in the default theme.
 
So if you add <mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" title="Logon" modalTransparency="90">
The application will almost disapear.
It looks like you can effectively change the color of the 'transparency' clip by changing the 'Modal Skin' but I don't know what that means, nothing came from google :((
 
Anyone, anyone, Bueler? ;)

On your application tag, or in your style sheet you can add the attribute disabledColor="#999999", I don't know if the PopupManager is making the Application disabled (or its target), but if not, you could do it by yourself : mx.core.Application.application.enabled = false;  then re-enabling it when closing the popup

hai jeff,
 
thanks... i went thru the sample.. but what i need is, ofcourse making the UI inactive but also i want the UI to be changed to pale gray in color...ie, the user nust know that the main application is inactive just by seeing the color... it is just like when you go to file menu and fing certain things inactive with the grey color text...hope you can understand my question now.. any way of doing it?
 
thanks

Nithya,

 

While I am not explicitly listed in the subject line I thought that I might offer some insight here.

 

What you are venturing into is the Modality of the popup.  In order to render the "application inactive" I would probably use the Blocking Cursor example in the Flex Samples Explorer as a starter.

 

Let me know if that doesn't make sense - or answer your question.
