        {
            PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
        }

    ]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Image source="Images/close.png" top="4" left="500" useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true" click="{btnImage_click();}" />
<mx:Fade id="fadeIn" duration="700" alphaFrom="0.0" alphaTo="1.0"/>
<mx:VBox height="100%" width="100%" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle">
    <mx:Canvas height="85%" width="90%" backgroundColor="#ffffff" backgroundAlpha="1" >
        <mx:VBox height="100%" width="100%">
            <mx:HBox height="70%" width="100%" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle">
                <mx:Image id="btnPrevious" source="Images/previous.png" 
                    click="{vsSubImages.selectedIndex--}" enabled="{vsSubImages.selectedIndex!=0}"/>
                <mx:ViewStack height="100%" width="90%" creationPolicy="all" id="vsSubImages">
                    <mx:VBox height="100%" width="100%" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" showEffect="{fadeIn}">
                        <mx:Image id="img1" maintainAspectRatio="true" height="100%" width="100%" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" />    
                    </mx:VBox>                  
                    <mx:VBox height="100%" width="100%" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" showEffect="{fadeIn}">
                        <mx:Image id="img2" maintainAspectRatio="true" height="100%" width="100%" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" />    
                    </mx:VBox>                  
                    <mx:VBox height="100%" width="100%" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" showEffect="{fadeIn}">
                        <mx:Image id="img3" maintainAspectRatio="true" height="100%" width="100%" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" />    
                    </mx:VBox>                  
                </mx:ViewStack>
                <mx:Image id="btnNext" source="Images/next.png" 
                    click="{vsSubImages.selectedIndex++}" enabled="{vsSubImages.selectedIndex!=2}" />
            </mx:HBox>
            <mx:Box height="30%" width="100%" horizontalAlign="right" verticalAlign="top">
                <mx:Form height="100%" width="100%">
                    <mx:FormItem label="Project Name : " >
                        <mx:Label id="lblName" />
                    </mx:FormItem>
                    <mx:FormItem label="Description : " >
                        <mx:Label id="lblDescription" />
                    </mx:FormItem>
                    <mx:FormItem label="Technology Name : " >
                        <mx:Label id="lblTechnology" />
                    </mx:FormItem>
                </mx:Form>
            </mx:Box>
        </mx:VBox>
    </mx:Canvas>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Canvas>

The main idea is to show the close button on the Canvas currently i am getting that behind the Canvas.
Please Help me.

Put the <mx:Image source="Images/close.png" top="4" left="500" useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true" click="{btnImage_click();}" /> tag at the very bottom of the code before last </mx:Canvas> tag. Because canvas behaves like last is at the very top in the z-index.
