And one more thing.. If i write this:

Alert.show(“your text”, “your title”, 4, this);

Alert.show(“your text”, “your title”, 4, this as Sprite);

my application works, I mean, The pop-up appears in the right window. But I get an error.

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.managers::WindowedSystemManager@9a830b1 to mx.managers.SystemManager.

Thanks for asking me so soon..
Well.. I’ve got my main application. It’s a MX:WindowedApplication, and I have a button on it.

That button calls a mx:Window this way.

new myWindowName().open(true);

Now, when the Alert pops-up it appears in my main application. And that’s not supposed to happen.
I’m writing exactly the same code that you are.

Alert.show(“your text”, “your title”, 4, parentApplication as Sprite);

(this code is in the window where the Alert should appear. (not the main frame)).
Thanks again for asking me, And please, excuse my English. It’s not my native language.

It should work so I assume you are using the wrong reference to retrieve the correct parentApplication.
Are you sure you take the UIComponent of the child window?

Hi,

This is with respect to AIR windowing system. I am working on an application where components have to added/ removed from the main application window and added to new windows.(I have WindowedApplication(Main App ) with custom chrome and there are other containers within it.)
The issue I am facing is with Comboboxes, tooltips all (popupmanger impl) show up in the main application window rather than the popped up window. I am using mx:Windows and mx:WindowedApplication.
It would be great if you can provide with some solution.

Brian, the garbage collection thing could also be a bug. If you think so and can produce a little test case you could file a bug at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira.
Otherwise I would suggest asking the flexcoders list.
