Paul, if you're saying I need to re-read the thread, well I took your advice and I did, and yet nobody has really explained why adding frames programatically and adding instances of object to it would be useful. I guess I just don't see it when you can control instances of objects separately and

I don't know as much about Flex architecture yet - just the basics, but I know in Flash 8 the PopupWindow component, when not enabled, is completely modal. I used that a lot for achieving modal windows. Don't know if that helps any in this case... I know you're looking to make your own component

Stupid Outlook hotkeys. What I meant to say was: In Flash 8 AS2 it was just: listener_obj.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void { } Where file was the complete file object on the result which had all the info you needed. Should be something similar in AS3. Jason Merrill Bank of
