Robotlegs 2 Popup Question

I've read and tried to follow suit with what's discussed in http://knowledge.robotlegs.org/discussions/robotlegs-2/1-robolegs-2... and have not had any good fortune.

Might there be any more suggestions on how to get a Flex Popup window to find its mediator in Robotlegs 2? I am using the most recent version that Shaun updated a day or two ago.

Thanks

   Hello Rick,

   I got the order wrong in my example on that page. Did you try it the other way around (adding the popup to the ViewManager before adding it to the PopUpManager):

   [Inject] public var viewManager:IViewManager;
   // .. //
   var popup:TestPopupWindow = new TestPopupWindow();
   viewManager.addContainer(popup);
   PopUpManager.addPopUp(popup, FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication as DisplayObject);
   

   If that doesn't help try setting your context's log level to Debug and seeing if you can spot anything odd in the logs.

   Otherwise, could you explain your setup a little more?

   I have tried the order switch. No luck. Let me try the context debug and

   Apologies...emailed that while on the road to the airport.

   The Debug is spitting out:
   [trace] 2202 DEBUG Context-0-98 StageSyncExtension-4-4a - Context view is now on stage. Initializing context... [trace] 2203 INFO Context-0-98 Context-0-98 - Initializing... [trace] 2204 DEBUG Context-0-98 ModularityExtension-3-33 - Modular context configured to inherit. Broadcasting existence event... [trace] 2205 DEBUG Context-0-98 ModularityExtension-3-33 - Modular context configured to export. Listening for existence events... [trace] 2206 DEBUG Context-0-98 ConfigManager-1-a8 - Context initializing. Instantiating config class [class ContextViewListenerConfig] [trace] 2211 INFO Context-0-98 Context-0-98 - Initialize complete

   When I click the ui controls (tabs, buttons, etc.) we get feedback from the debugger. When I click a button that opens up the popup...nothing.

   I've tried a few different ways to implement this. Which causes me to wonder if I'm not placing the code in the correct place. I will post an example on github and share the link here.

   Regarding your question about how I have things set up...

   I've used [email blocked] Cafe Townsend as a base for getting things wired up. From there I'm injecting the IViewManager into a view (which returns null) and issuing buttons click method to open the window.

   Guessing that's the wrong way. So I tried dispatching an event that's matched with a command that pops up the window and no mediation.

   I'll post an example.

   Thanks for you help with this.

   I ran through and fixed a number of things (sorry, I screwed the formatting a bit by mistake):

   https://github.com/darscan/Robotlegs-2-Simple-Project-with-Popup/co...

   And then.. found a bug (or missing feature) in the RL2 StageObserver:

   https://github.com/robotlegs/robotlegs-framework/commit/ea0bc0732bd...

   You'll need to grab the latest code and build another SWC.

   Works like a charm and cleared up a bunch of questions for me. Thank you for the extra time you put into this. Very much appreciated.

   If there is anything I can do to help the robotlegs team please let me know.

   I'm going to close this as this is now not an issue or challenge ;)
