hi, i cant attach my file it is too big, i have attached a screen shot of what my file looks like, it is simply a window component, with a swf file as ts content. this is the exact code i have on the component  
\code  
on (release) {  
var window = PopUpManager.createPopUp(\_root, Window, false);  
windowClickListener = new Object();  
windowClickListener.click = function(evt){

Window.deletePopUp();

}  
Window.addEventListener("click ",windowClickListener);  
}  
\

dude , this code doesn;t go dorectly on the component . it goes on a layer ,call the new layer actions or script or code …  
as you can see we are working here with a var : and instancename , i even wrote in my last post

//instancename = “my\_window”

pu att this code on another layer …  
not on the component .
