AIR: component behaves wrong after switching window

Ok so I have a component, that has a function to remove itself as a popUp in its current Window, and add itself to a newly created Window.

It works, however, if the component has a child like a ComboBox, the drop down still pops up in the old window where it used to be, also scrollbars, and focus seems to behave incorrectly in the new window also.

It seems to me like Flex still thinks the component is a child of the original window, not the new window. I have no idea how to resolve this though.

Here is my code:

private var ownWindow:Window;
private var _inOwnWindow:Boolean;
private var _removedEffect:Move;
private var _openX:Number;
private var _openY:Number;

public function launchInNewWindow(e:Event):void
{
    _openX = Application.application.nativeWindow.x + this.x + 5; //keep in same spot add 5 for systemChrom border
    _openY = Application.application.nativeWindow.y + this.y + 30;//keep in same spot add 30 for systemChrom title

    this.parent.removeChild(this);
    ownWindow = new Window();
    ownWindow.systemChrome = 'none';
    ownWindow.type = NativeWindowType.LIGHTWEIGHT;
    ownWindow.transparent = true;
    ownWindow.setStyle('showFlexChrome', false);
    ownWindow.width = this.wid开发者_如何转开发th > 750 ? 750 : this.width;
    ownWindow.height = this.height > 550 ? 550 : this.height;
    edit.enabled = false;

    _removedEffect = this.getStyle('removedEffect') as Move;
    if(_removedEffect == null)
    {
        openNewWindow();
    }
    else
    {
    // Wait for removed effect to play before adding to new window
_removedEffect.addEventListener(EffectEvent.EFFECT_END,delayOpenInNewWindow);
    }
}

private function delayOpenInNewWindow(e:Event = null):void
{
    var t:Timer = new Timer(100,1);
    t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,openNewWindow);
    t.start();
}

private function openNewWindow(e:Event = null):void
{
    ownWindow.addChild(this);
    ownWindow.width += 5; //add to show dropshadow
    ownWindow.height += 10; //add to show dropshadow
    ownWindow.open();
    _inOwnWindow = true;
    ownWindow.nativeWindow.x = _openX;
    ownWindow.nativeWindow.y = _openY;
}

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Before I give this a run, have you tried a callLater on the openNewWindow() line?

[ lame fix attempt, i know -- but given that there doesn't seem to be an event that you can listen for in the case that the removedEffect isn't null and it seems like a timer is your only option there, I think it's o.k. to give lame fix attempts :-) ]
