Hi Barry,
Popup positioning is relative to the popup parent dispayObject. If you want to center your popoup, you can change the parent from the itemRenderer to a different displayObject. You would still open the popup from the itemRenderer, but attach it too a higher level parent.
public var popUpWindow:IFlexDisplayObject;
public var popUpParent:DisplayObject;
popUpParent = Application.application.mainCanvas;
popUpWindow = PopUpManager.createPopUp(popUpParent,myPopUpView,true);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(popUpWindow);
