Wondering if you know of any way to control the area of the blur/dim behind a modal. I have an air app which has custom window border styles which are irregular. SO the app looks nice overlaid on other apps, that is until a modal creates the dim in its standard rectangular shape which extends beyond my window borders in some areas. Any ideas? Thanks! --bp peter - great stuff thanks for all the posts.

I filed a bug in the public Flex bugbase at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-16248 . To get around the issue, it looks like you can set the <code>modalTransparencyDuration</code> style to 1 millisecond. Thanks, Peter Nate,

Is anyone else observing this? Maybe it’s just me, but I noticed that setting “modaleTransparencyDuration: 0;” seems to set modalTransparencyBlur to 0. Is anyone else observing this?

for example I know you can setStyle(”ModalTransparancyColor”,green)
But what else is available in place of “ModalTransparencyColor”

Peter zsolt,

I’m trying to pass variables between to mxml apps. mxml-1 has two text fields (name/phone). I like to pass the text that is typed into these two fields to mxml-2’s (name/phone) fields when I click the submit button on mxml-1. Thanks Peterd –

Unfortunatly none were very helpful to me (I'm OK on the .aspx part of it) I was not interested in installing another runtime/framework (WebORB) on my server and the "Invoking .NET objects using the Flex RemoteObject API” was more about calling webservices. I'm looking for a solution in aspx like the one Augie Marcello posted at http://augiemarcello.com/flex-2-basic-email-form/ -Zsolt Thanks Peterd -
