I am using ModuleLoader, and child has a reference to the module UI root instance (as mentioned in one of numerous emails in this thread).
After reading all your answers and stepping through Parsley and PopupManager again and again with the debugger, I realized there was no reason to pass the Module root view as the "parent" when calling PopupManager.addPopup. So I reverted to the original Parsley Popup tag implementation, which just returns FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication as the default parent. And it's working just fine, even in modules! So I don't need anymore to retrieve the module root UI. Mea culpa. Thanks again folks!

If you used ModuleLoader then the child is that thing. But if you used ModuleManager, you can create multiple instances of that thing, and that's why the framework doesn't have a back-reference to "the" module root UI instance since there can be more than one. -Alex > >Maurice > >-----Message d'origine----- >De : Alex Harui [mailto:[email protected]] Envoyé : mardi 3 septembre >2013 05:53 À : [email protected] Objet : Re: question on modules > >This is a common misconception: modules do not have a "module instance". >All you are doing is loading a factory from which you can make any >number of instances of the classes in the module via the factory.create() >method. > That's why there is no mapping back to a single instance, just the >factory. > >A popup would not be parented by any module instances since they are >hung off of the top-level app's systemManager.
