It's really easy. Just check out Timer documentation on livedocs.
E.g. in your pop-up class (or in class which will handle your pop-up):
public class PopUpClass extends TitleWindow {
private var timer : Timer;
public function PopUpClass() {
timer = new Timer(<number of seconds to display pop-up>, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
}
public function show() : void {
PopUpManager.addPopUp(this);
if (timer.running) {
timer.stop();
}
timer.start();
}
private function onTimer(event : TimerEvent) : void {
PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
}
}
