Can I get a Simple AS or JS to open a Popup, so that I can reuse those AS or JS in various places just by calling the JS and the path of the file to open as Popup

Thank a lot in Advance

Instead of creating a TextInput control in the previous example, you could create a read-only TextArea (set the editable property to false).

Or, if you want a longer answer, something like this should do the trick (and probably be a bit more reusable:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- main.mxml -->
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        layout="vertical"
        verticalAlign="middle"
        backgroundColor="white">

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

            private function launchMoreInfo():void {
                var win:Dialog = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, Dialog, true) as Dialog;
                PopUpManager.centerPopUp(win);
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>

    <mx:ApplicationControlBar dock="true">
        <mx:Button id="button"
                label="Click for more information"
                click="launchMoreInfo();" />
    </mx:ApplicationControlBar>

</mx:Application>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Dialog.mxml -->
<mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        layout="vertical"
        title="More information"
        showCloseButton="true"
        width="400"
        height="300"
        close="titleWindow_close(event);">

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

            private function titleWindow_close(evt:CloseEvent):void {
                PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>

    <mx:String id="info" source="info.txt" />

    <mx:TextArea id="txt"
            htmlText="{info}"
            focusAlpha="0.0"
            width="100%"
            height="100%" /> 

</mx:TitleWindow>

Then create a text file named “info.txt” in the same directory as main.mxml and Dialog.mxml and enter whatever text you want to appear in the More Information dialog.

Hope that helps,
Peter

I am looking for a script like this, where the user can say click on a text or button that says “Click here for more info” I do not want them to enter info on a text box, but I want to create a custom text popup in a box that explains info to them, not for them to enter info. Can you modify this script to do so, or what do you suggest?

Thanks alot!

Nick

....
private var panel:Panel;
private var textInput:TextInput;
....

And you replace on :

private function init():void {
...
var textInput:TextInput = new TextInput(); // before
textInput = new TextInput(); // replace by
...
}

And after you can access to the text property of element textInput, for exemple

private function closePopUp(evt:MouseEvent):void {
         Alert.show(textInput.text)
         PopUpManager.removePopUp(panel);
}

Please type your name, location or number as you see it appear on the contacts list including all spaces as you see them. Do not use the ‘ ‘ or ‘(’ ‘)’ operators as this will result in a miss match.

I know you wont get the data in the grid but that part works fine.
