More or less like google maps balloon type functionality. I was not able to find a way to catch the mouse event anywhere else functionality in flex. Do you have an example for it. thanks Pete,

The form does not fit the screen area and hence I am having scroll bars in it. When we click on some of the controls in the form, we open popups. But when the popup is opened, if we scroll the form using the form scroll bar then the popup is not getting scrolled. I want the popup to be scrolled along with the form elements. Please let me know how this can be done. Thanks Abhilash I have a form designed using Flex. The form does not fit the screen area and hence I am having scroll bars in it.

Instead you have to click into a component that is properly set to accepts click events like a button or input field. You probably could somehow set the Application to test for mouse events in the case of the screen being disabled by an Alert window. In this case everything is disabled except for the close button so the close button is the only item that can. This is working about as well as it can. In a real app you would being doing things like Ctrl+S to intiate a save function and there will be plenty of things to click to get focus back. This approach works for me with XP on IE 7 and Firefox 2. Once the focus is taken away from the Flash you can’t regain focus by simply clicking the within the swf.

I am retarded. Didn't set focus on my component so I guess it wasn't receiving keyboard events. Actually, it works. I am retarded.
