Need to create TitleWindow using PopUpManager to close TitleWindow using PopUpManager

PeteVitt — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 19:59:48 GMT

I've got a TitleWindow that is populated with a chart. I'm trying to get the TitleWindow to close using the close event and the popupmanager as shown below. The event fires but the TitleWindow wont close -- I have the Title Window hard coded -- does it need to be created in script using the popup manager in order for the window to close? or hopefully something else I'm missing?

Thanks

...

<s:TitleWindow id="myTW"
title="Maximum Groundwater Elevation"
visible="false"
close="closeWindow();">

.... chart stuff ...

<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;

public function closeWindow():void
    {
     PopUpManager.removePopUp(this.myTW); //also tried this only

    }
   ]]>

</fx:Script>

</s:TitleWindow>
....

Pete,

Is the TitleWindow the top level object/component? If so than the code you have works for me all the time.

Robert - it is one of two titlewindows nested inside a border container:

<bordercontainer>

<titlewindow>
</titlewindow>
<titlewindow>
titlewindow trying to close
</titlewindow>

</bordercontainer>

Pete,

So what is the actual item being popuped then?

the TitleWindow I'm trying to close is invisible until a button is clicked. The other window (containing the map) is always visible

Pete,

What does your code using the popupmanager look like for bringing up the title window then?

It is set visible after a query is executed:

public function displayBarChart(infos:ArrayCollection):void
   {
    myChart.dataProvider=infos;
    myTW.visible=true;
   }

Pete,

You can not use popupmanager to close a titlewindow if you never actually used popupmanager to open the titlewindow.

Ok, thanks Robert. I figured this might be the case, but was hoping it wasnt -- seems like you should be able to close a window without all this fuss
