Couple of things:
1. You should not be setting a loaderContext. It doesn’t affect this test
case, but it is not recommended practice. Set loadForCompability=true BEFORE
you call load(). I modified your init() function to look just like this:
private function init():void{
loader.loadForCompatibility = true;
loader.load("SubAppTestChild.swf");
}
2. I thought the original goal was to get the sub-apps popup to center in the
main app, but the code looked like the goal was to center between two lines.
If the goal is to center in the main app, I adjusted the code to look like this:
public function loadDialog():void{
var test:TestView =
PopUpManager.createPopUp(systemManager.getSandboxRoot(), TestView, true) as
TestView;
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(test);
}

Backgrounder...SubApps are cool because two SWF's can be compiled with
different SDK's and can still work together.
The upper/left-hand corner of the dialog appears between the two HRule's
because that is where the SWFLoader resides in the parent MXML. The dialog
isn't clipped in any way.
I've tried many combinations to get the dialog to center but it won't budge.
For a quick demo...
