Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Capture
events a la the underlying transparent window from PopUpManager
Hi Everybody,
If its a hack, workaround or the way its suppose
to work does not
matter as I have found a solution that works.
Just as the documentation for the PopUpManager
suggests, the solution
is to put a independent layer underneath the layer
containing the
components and then disable this layer. This
disabling will
eventually intercept all user input and discard
them as it is
disabled.
Thanks anyways for the help everybody.
Cheers,
Pedro
