Question

I need to create a “popup window” in AS3, which can contain things like textboxes and datagrids and stuff like that.

I have searched thoroughly, and have been unable to find such a component or class. Why did they remove the AS2 window in as3? That would have been perfect for this.

The closest thing I could find was http://fatal-exception.co.uk/blog/?p=69 which cannot support textboxes or datagrids.

Thanks for your help, I need this very badly.

Answer 1

I was able to build a window class myself quite easily. It has some decent functionality.

I used startDrag(false) and stopDrag(); to program the dragging functionality, and this.parent.removeChild(this); to get rid of the window.
