Title: Re: [flexcoders] centerPopUp in ActionScript component
You can’t call centerPopUp(this) in the constructor, but, I was able to call it on the creationComplete event from within my AS component. Here is an example that worked:

package {
import mx.controls.*;
import mx.containers.TitleWindow;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;

    public class myTitleWindow extends TitleWindow
    {
       public function myTitleWindow() : void
       {
          height=160;
          width=180;

          var btn1:Button = new Button();
          btn1.label = "button 1";
          addChild(btn1);

          addEventListener("creationComplete", _center);
       }
       
       public function _center(event:FlexEvent): void
       {
           PopUpManager.centerPopUp(this);
       }
    }
}

I wrote a component in ActionScript that is designed to be used as a
pop-up, and it needs to center itself. I tried invoking
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(this) from the constructor, and then I tried
it in the createChildren method, but the Flash player seemed to ignore
it both times. The pop-up kept appearing in the upper left corner of
the screen.

I don't have this problem with custom MXML components; I simply put
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(this) in the creationComplete event handler,
and it works fine.

Is there a way to successfully invoke PopUpManager.centerPopUp(this)
from inside an ActionScript component?
