If you are really using PopUpManager, then the hierarchy you show isn't correct. A popped-up titlewindow is a child of the SystemManager, not a child of the TabContainer or a grandchild of the Application, and neither the TabContainer nor the Application should get a bubbled-up event from a popup.

The clone() method returns a cloned copy of the event object by setting the type property and any new properties in the clone. Typically, you define the clone() method to return an event instance created with the new operator.
