That would make sense and I really wish it worked that way, however,
that is not the case. Here is a short code example.
in CustomTitleWindow.mxml...
public function doSomething():void {
this.someElement.visible = true;
}
in Application.mxml...
function callFunctionAfterCenterPopUp() {
//create popup, cast to CustomTitleWindow
cTitleWindow = CustomTitleWidnow(PopUpManager.createPopUp
(this,CustomTitleWindow,false));
//center popup
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(cTitleWindow);
//call method within CustomTitleWindow class on popupwindow reference
cTitleWindow.doSomething();//nothing happens
}
It also seems that events do not bubble over to pop-up windows.
in CustomTitleWindow.mxml...
//called on creation complete
public function init():void {
this.addEventListener("somethingHappened", doSomething);
}
in Application.mxml...
//called when a button is clicked for example
public function causeEvent():void {
dispatchEvent(new Event("somethingHappened", true, false));
}
