Hi Tony, Thanx a bunch for you reply. I reckon that you are absolutely right.
It seems that the issue is addressed in Flex 2.0 and AS3 thus indicating that it is a critical issue in Flex 1.5 and AS2. What bothers me is that it seems to be solvable since buttons and other natively-input-recieving objects seems to capture events and not bubble them. In relation to the PopUpManager it seems to be possible also, but it may be that everything underneath the transparent window used when modality is enabled is disabled. Anyways.. it would be great to have an authoritive response or at least be pointed in direction of an authoritive answer.
