Closing a SkinnablePopUpContainer in actionscript

I have a SkinnablePopUpContainer as follows:

<fx:Component className="AlertMsg">

<s:SkinnablePopUpContainer x="70" y="300">

<s:TitleWindow fontSize="16" title="MyTitle" horizontalCenter="0" close="close()">

<s:VGroup horizontalAlign="center" paddingTop="8" paddingBottom="8" paddingLeft="8" paddingRight="8" gap="5" width="100%">

<s:Label textAlign="center" fontSize="16"

text="MyText"/>

<s:Button label="OK" click="close()"/>

</s:VGroup>

</s:TitleWindow>

</s:SkinnablePopUpContainer>

</fx:Component>

This is for a mobile app. When I swipe and navigator.pushView to another view, the Alert remains on the screen.

Any one know how to close the Alert in the actionscript code?

Seems a silly question, but I just cannot refernce the object to clode it:-(

TIA,

Phil.

Not sure why, but:

I was using the following to create the popup alert:

(new AlertMsg()).open(this, false)

When, I used the following method:

var alert:AlertMsg = new AlertMsg();

alert.open(this, true);

PopUpManager.centerPopUp(alert);

I cannot swipe to move to another view, until I close the Alert, which is exactly what I want.

So, solved by virtue of centering the popup!

Hi Phil,

You need to give your Alert an id (e.g. 'myAlert') so that you can reference it in code. You could then add an event listener for the swipe event and, in the handler, call myAlert.close();

HTH,

David

Thanks for your response,

I have put ID properties in the Container:

<fx:Component className="AlertMsg" id="myClassName">

<s:SkinnablePopUpContainer x="70" y="300">

<s:TitleWindow id="myTitlewndow"

... etc ...

But in the swipe handler, I canot access any of the ID's with:

Access of undefined property.

Also code hinting does not show any of the ID's in the swipe handler.

Maybe I need to close all children of the view?
