Dustin, Thanks for that suggestion - it proved that the problem is indeed that the menu is showing up beneath my window. Another strange thing is that none of the items are selectable when I run my mouse cursor over them. How would I get the menu to stop showing up beneath my window?
---------- Renaun, PopUp.mxml's top component is an <mx:Panel>. Main.mxml allows the user to open any number of different windows (I gave them generic names for this example, obviously, but they are all smaller parts of a large application) in which the user will execute different tasks. Also, I do have my AS function inside of <mx:Script><![CDATA[ ]></mx:Script> tags. ---------- Thank you both. =) --- In [email protected], "Mercer, Dustin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This doesn't sound like a cairngorm issue, but a flex depth issue.
