CenterPopUp will validate the popup which runs the creationComplete handler before you've set the variables.

I took your code, stripped out everything but the data passing stuff, and the data was passed in fine. You need to debug this to determing where the problem is. Create a button, and use it to call showMessage with hard coded values: <mx:Button label="Test Popup" click="showMessage('test',6000)"/> Tracy -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <mailto:flexcomponents%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:flexcomponents%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of candysmate Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2007 5:47 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:flexcomponents%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: [flexcomponents] Passing varaibles to a Popup window Tracey Spratt style Tracey Spratt very kindly posted a tutorial demonstrating passing variables between the application and a popup window without events. I've used this technique extensively in my own apps and am grateful to Tracey for posting it. However, I'm having trouble using this technique now for some reason. Here's my code which isn't passing the data at all. Anyone spot my bloopers please?
