That would work, but it would only disable controls, not give the
greyed out look to the rest of the screen, like the popups do. I
suppose I could do like you say, but instead have the style changed
for the other components...
but I'm really hoping there's some way to create a magic function
like:
public static function strongFocus(control:DisplayObject):void
{
...
}
that I can call from anywhere and it will grey out and disable mouse
interaction with everything on the stage but the control passed in.
Am I hoping for too much?
