When you construct an application, your design will likely often call for a pop-up or editing window. Flex offers a convenient mechanism in the pop-up manager to help you create, delete, position, close, and destroy windows. When you're choosing the type of pop-up window to add to your application, it's a good idea to plan ahead and first determine what the purpose of the pop-up will be and what you'll need to do in the pop-up window.
This chapter covers the following topics:
- Creating a pop-up window
- Sizing and positioning pop-ups
- Communicating with a pop-up window
- Closing pop-up windows
- Using alerts
