PopUpManager Parent

Zeus25971

Hi all. I am working on several alerts and warnings on my Game, and PopUp Manager was really Usefull. However I am not sure to which parent the popUp was added.
For example I tried this:

	trace('before ' + pStage + ' nm ' + panel.name  );
	PopUpManager.addPopUp(panel, pStage, true, true);		
	trace('after' + pStage.getChildByName(panel.name));

And this is the response:
src/com/criptomesas/WindowManager.hx:87: before [object Stage] nm wnd@1
Log.hx:66 src/com/criptomesas/WindowManager.hx:89: after null

Any way, what I really need is to remove ONLY the popUp created on that call ( based on their name).

Best Regards, and thanks.

The parent parameter of addPopUp() isn't actually where the pop-up gets added to the display list. Perhaps a more appropriate name for this parameter would be owner. The parent/owner is simply used to determine which stage the pop-up should be associated with (if a native app opens multiple windows, each window will have its own stage). You wouldn't want a pop-up getting displayed in the wrong window!

To remove a pop-up call, PopUpManager.removePopUp(panel).

Alternatively, panel.parent.removeChild(panel) should work too.
