Sorry for the confusion. I'll explain this better here
I've got a titlewindow with a few modal properties:
<mx:TitleWindow modalTransparency=".5" modalTransparencyDuration="400"
modalTransparencyColor="#CCCCCC" modalTransparencyBlur="5" .......>
I'm using the PopUpManager to show this guy to create an in-context help
window when someone clicks on a help icon.
<mx:Button click="toggleHelpWindow()" id="helpButton"
icon="@Embed('/assets/help/graphics/help.gif')" .....>
As you would expect, when I PopUp the modal TitleWindow with the above
properties, it blurs, darkens and fades the whole Application except the
TitleWindow. I love the ModalTransparencyBlur, (although I've noticed a
slight buffering time associated with this effect, understandably) ..
I'd like to make this helpButton "immune" to the ModalTransparencyBlur,
so when the in context help TitleWindow pops up, both the TitleWindow
and the helpButton are sharp and in focus, with the rest of the
interface blurred and faded, in order to strengthen the association
between the button and the help content.
As it is, the modalTransparencyBlur property blurs everything in the
Application except the TitleWindow on top.
Does anyone know a way I can make the helpButton "immune" to the modal
effect?
If you'd like the code, I've created a custom component called
"ContextHelpButton" which accepts an xmlFile property and displays this
relative to the help button. It's pretty useful, although still in
development as you can see. :^)
Man, I am so thankful to be a part of a group like this.
