Thanks TH. That's weird, there must be something else in my code, then as I'm still not able to get it to the center. My hierarchy in my main.mxml is mx.Application > mainPanel > myPopupButton
I tried this.parent as Sprite and mainPanel.parent as Sprite And a couple of other things.. TH, I'm not waiting on a solution from you specifically, because you were just explaining the facts about the popup specifically, and the need to cast that parameter. Maybe someone else will see this who has run into this specific situation.
