Centering a Alert window!!!

[Aldo Herrera]

When i use the alert.show(), the window shows in the upper right corner!!!

how do i center it in my movie??

You can pass an init object. Remeber that _x and _y positions are relative to the MovieClip you pas as parent:

The command is:
PopUpManager.createPopUp(parent, class, modal [, initobj, outsideEvents])


An example:
win = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, mx.containers.Window, true,{_name: "myWin", _x:5, _y:125, _width:300, _height:250, closeButton:true, title:"Details", contentPath:"details"});

Hi Jorge,

Could you give us an example using the Alert class please.  I am having a similar problem.  Here is my Alert window.

   //This is the listener to check if user really wants to upload project to services
   var theSubmitListener:Object = new Object();
   theSubmitListener.click = function(oEvent:Object):Void{
      switch (oEvent.detail){
         case Alert.YES:
         //uploadData();
         trace("YES");
         break;
         case Alert.NO:
         trace("NO");
         break;
      }
   }//End of theSubmitListener
   
Alert.show("Do you want to Submit Project to Services?", "   Question   ", Alert.YES|Alert.NO, this, theSubmitListener, {_x:300, _y:625});

Thanks,

Al D.

What's the problem? Seems that you're trinh to manage a click event, post a new thread.

I just found my problem.

I am using the Alert window to do a check before submitting a form.  It appears that the this keyword in the Alert class is what is messing it up.  I have 2 different movie clips on the _root timeline., so it was taking it to the _root timeline.  I added the name of the moveclip to the this keyword. I also reoved the _x and _y positioning.  Now the Alert box shows in the center of the window.

Alert.show("Do you want to Submit Project to Services?", "   Question   ", Alert.YES|Alert.NO, this.ProjectModelingForm_mc, theSubmitListener);
