In order to get around this one, we ended up taking the PopUpButton class code and making our own version of it...too many parts of it were private and extending it to get rid of the problem was impossible.
If I get a second, I will try to upload some sample code to reproduce the problem. In my case I am popping up a menu. The problem occurred when I the popup closed after a menu click. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "dbronk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Not sure how to get by this one.
