I didn't look at your code yet, but try putting up the alert via callLater.

I've got another case of some weird behaviour regarding the loosing the focus. Test case is very simple - editable DataGrid, click anywhere in the cell, start editing and then press ESC key - the parent component keyboard events handler will throw an Alert box. If you choose Yes (discard changes and close the window) system crashes. Debugging shows that after Alert control has been closed Flex tries to resume editing in DataGrid - it starts again with editBegin event and then it crashes because system already started the removal of the window. The question is - what I am doing wrong?
