In the end I solved it by just writing my own code using the example
in Flex2 Sample Explorer. Thing is every example of sending data to
a popup I have found usually instead shows returning data :/
But I have a way I can easily send and recieve from a popup.
Here is the code im using.
This is the function that displays the popup.
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
// Error Handler Function
public function err(message:String, title:String):Void {
var errpop:MyPopup = MyPopup(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,
MyPopup, true));
errpop.title = title;
errpop.messagebox.htmlText = message;
}
And here is the Popup File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Panel xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml"; width="500"
height="503"
borderStyle="outset" cornerRadius="10" backgroundColor="#800000"
themeColor="#800000" title="Error" color="#FFFFFF"
borderColor="#800000">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:TextArea id="messagebox" width="100%" height="100%"
editable="false" text="error" backgroundColor="#FFDDDD"
themeColor="#800000"/>
<mx:HBox width="100%" horizontalAlign="center">
<mx:Button label="Close"
click="PopUpManager.removePopUp(this)"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Panel>
Key things to note in the popup function is that you are setting the
type of the popup handle to the popup's name. This little trick then
lets you access anything in the popup:Variables, Functions,
Components. In theory if you defined the popup handle variable
outside the function you could then be interactive if you made the
window non-model. I use model since I am using it to display error
messages.
