Okay, thanks! I guess it's not possible to do with the system manager... --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Then instead of using popUpManager, just add children to the module, the transparent sprite and then your popup From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of cuttenv Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 3:47 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Modal Popup inside a module (or inside a view) of my application Thanks for the response Alex.

I am trying to create a popup that is modal over only one area of my application. I don't know if it helps but that area is actually a module that is loaded into the main application. It only takes up about half of the stage. Is there a way to make a modal popup over only a module or any view inside your application for that matter. I know there used to be a way in Flex 2 when modules still used the application tag... Thanks in advance! -Vito
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Modal Popup inside a module (or inside a view) of my application
A module isn't parented by a systemManager unless it is popped up. You can add children to the systemManager if you want, just make sure it covers the right areas. SystemManager does not provide functionality to cover a portion of the screen.
