Throw the help button in a popup as well. Then,
everytime you open a popup,
go:
PopUpManager.bringToFront (
helpButton )
PopUps are put in a different display area, thus their
parent is not the
app, and thus they are not blurred.
or reparent the
Help button to the TitleWindow, and then back again to it's
original parent
when you close the TitleWindow.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Modal
Immunity
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.
