s thr any way to create a pop up window in action scrtip file, without calling the mxml file in createpopup()

Indeed you were right peterd, I followed your idea and rebuilt this function (in my popup class for Flex 4 :

public function resizePercentage(widthPercentage:Number, heightPercentage:Number):void {
var appWidth:Number = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.width;
var appHeight:Number = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.height;

this.maxWidth = this.width;
this.maxHeight = this.height;
}

ArgumentError: Undefined state 'inactive'.

I really got stuck with one problem. I am creating a desktop applicaiton using air. In that applicaiton left side contains a list and right side contains a HTML component. Double clicking on a list item will load the currosponding html id that in right side.

Click on List item opens a popup which will be on top of the HTML component. The problem is in Windows (I tried XP) this popup goes beind the HTML/SWF . I tried adding modal = true while adding popup which brought made popup visible on top of HTML component but the SWF in HTML became disappear..

I want to make this popup NOT as Modal so that background is enabled, but want to show on top of HTML component when swf is there.

How can solve this issue?

I’ve replaced the codes in Dialog.mxml to:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
 
<mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml”
        title=”Some title”
        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:HTTPService id="srv" url="http://localhost/someplace" method="POST" result="mx.controls.Alert.show(srv.lastResult.toString());">
<mx:request>
        <field1>{field1.text}</field1>
        <field2>{field2.text}</field2>
</mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>
 
<mx:Form width="100%" height="100%">
        <mx:FormItem label="field1">
                <mx:TextInput id="field1"/>
        </mx:FormItem>
 
        <mx:FormItem label="field2">
                <mx:TextInput id="field2"/>
        </mx:FormItem>
 
        <mx:FormItem>
                <mx:Button label="Submit" click="srv.send();"/>
        </mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
 
</mx:TitleWindow>

Can you please look though for me if i applied these concepts wrongly?

The best way to display a Form in Flex is to probably use the <mx:Form/> and <mx:FormItem/> tags (should be lots of examples on this site as well). Then create a Submit type button which validates the form. If the data is valid then send the form values to the server using HTTPService and then close the dialog. If the data is not valid, then display an error dialog using the Alert component and don’t close the popup.
