Thanks for the input, however with little success.
Adding the effect to showEffect gives nothing. If I recall correctly
showeffect is triggered by clicking the object when it's inside a
viewstack.
However listening to the childAdd brought me to the following idea.
At the end of me creationCompleteHandler I have put the following:
callLater(function():void{popup.play([this])});
This gives me the same error as listening to the addChildEvent, being
the following:
TypeError: Error #1006: dispatchEvent is not a function.
