[flexcoders] Re: PopUp from within a class

Wed, 02 Aug 2006 12:57:00 -0700

A while back I came across Jester's link that Tracy mentioned.  The sample is for Flex 1.5, but the logic behind it is probably still applicable.

You may not want to start any processing until after the creationComplete event of your popup, maybe even a certain amount of time beyond that.
