RE: [flexcoders] Internal popups
Hello Jeff, Have you thought of using a View Stack with a Title Window? For a project we were working on, we first started with a Popup Window, but found performance to be a problem. We switched to a simulating a popup via a Title Window / View Stack and found it more performant and more usable.

Re: [flexcoders] Internal popups
Example code ...
You would also be able to dynamically change the content, size,
poistion, etc of the popup. By passing a 'placement' value you can
decide whether it opens on the right or below.
?xml
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?
mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" width="100%"
height="100%"
mx:Script
![CDATA[
function openPopup(placement)
{
popupx.visible = true;
if (placement == "right")
{
popupx.y = caller.y;
popupx.x =
caller.x+caller.width;
}
else {
popupx.x = caller.x;
popupx.y =
caller.y+caller.height;
}
}
function closePopup(){
popupx.visible = false;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Canvas id="mainCanvas"
width="100%" height="100%"
mx:HBox id="main"
width="100%" height="100%"
mx:TextInput
id="caller" text="Mouseover to open Popup" width="250"
mouseOver="openPopup('bottom')" mouseOut="closePopup()" /
/mx:HBox
mx:HBox id="popupx"
width="250" height="75" backgroundColor="#FF" visible="false"
mx:Text
text="Popup" color="#FF" fontWeight="bold" /
/mx:HBox
/mx:Canvas

Here's an example
that uses createPopUp() to create a TextArea popup (no other file
required):
?xml

});}
function

It's compiled into the final SWF
so there isn't technically a dependency.
However, if you want a simple
popup, you could use an Alert.
check out Alert.show for that,
and for loading internal components as popups, look up
PopUpManager.createPopUp

popups
Ive been scouring the
documentation, but I cant seem to find how to do something that should be
quite simple. How do I create a popup window that doesnt reference an
external file? All examples point to loading in an external mxml file,
but I would like to simply create a panel that is hidden on startup and have
it hid
Re: [flexcoders] Internal popups
Yeah, you were just a little quicker than me getting that one posted. Mine is pretty much the same solution:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml
mx:Script
![CDATA[
function toggleVis(){
tw.visible = !tw.visible;
}

mx:Button click=toggleVis() label=click me/

mx:TitleWindow x=100 y=0

Yes
Matthew, sorry better luck next time :-)
One
correction, if I understood Jeff's requirements correctly, he does not want to
see the TitleWindow in its native form with the header,etc. So he will have to
go with a HBox, I think.
