Flex has multiple "depth stacks" or child lists, implemented by the systemManager. There is the main child list where application lives, child list for popups, another for tooltips above that and another for cursors above that. Normally, you just want to popup something over some window so you pass in that window as a reference and it looks at its parent to figure out what depth stack it is in and puts the popup as the topmost child in that depth stack. Sometimes you want to make a floating window that would float above the app's popups so you specify the POPUP child list and it will be a floating window.
