Thanks Haykel,
The issue was in window which was causing the new pop up window to open.
It had something like
public function openWin_fn(eventObj:*):void
{
...................
outcome_win = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, my_new_win,
true) as my_newlycreated_win;
...........................
}
At the line which is highlighted in bold, I needed a "parentWindowOpener"
instead of a "this"pointerwhich was causing the issue. The line should be
outcome_win = PopUpManager.createPopUp(parentWindowOpener, my_new_win, true) as
my_newlycreated_win;
I don't recall why I changed the parentWindowOpener to this and am more
surprised that my original source file had the "this" pointer which is why I
could not trace it earlier.
Such subtleties of Flex are what I need to know in detail.
Thanks for your help.

The createPopUp call looks suspicious to me, normally you should pass a class
name as a second argument.
