First, I realize I was not clear enough in my last description of the problem.
Upon calling
PopUpManager.removePopUp, I'm actually loading a swf into a swf "player". I
have a
sequence of swfs that are short animations. After random swfs have played, I
pop up a
titlewindow based dialog. When the user clicks Yes or No button in the dialog,
I call
removePopUp and automatically start playing the next swf in the list. This is
what I'm
assuming is causing the error. Code looks something like this:
swfplayer.playNext();
onSWFFinish( evt : Event )
{
showDialog();
}
onDialogButtonClickEvent( evt : Event )
{
PopUpManager.removePopUp( Dialog );
swfplayer.playNext();
}
Nine times out of ten that will result in the dialog being removed, the modal
overlay still
being intact and the swfplayer playing the next swf. This is obviously
simplified, but I
would be happy to provide you with some source, if you need, although I won't
be able to
post it publicly.
