Hiya, I have created a popup similar to that in the live docs examples using a
TitleWindow and I would like to make it appear with a fade effect.... but its
not working at all and I have tried it both with a showEffect and an
addedEffect but neither work....

any help?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:TitleWindow showEffect="{FadeIn}"
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
close="PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);" >

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;

]]>
</mx:Script>

<mx:Fade id="FadeIn" duration="5000" alphaFrom="0.0" alphaTo="1.0" />

<!-- blah blah for my titlewindow -->

</mx:TitleWindow>

Hi,

Try handling the creationCompleteEffect of the TitleWindow too as show below.

creationCompleteEffect="{FadeIn}"

Hope this helps.

Thanks SujitG - to the rescue again

There is just one extra thing though - when the titlewindow appears, it fades
in as desired. But the titlewindow contains some labels and other bits, and the
text on the labels appears immediately while the "background" is fading in
behind it....

Is there anyway we can apply this "fadeIn" effect to the whole window and its
content so that the text also fades in in the same way? I have tried applying
the creationCompleteEffect to all the elements in the titlewindow but this
doesn't work ...

Cheers,

I think for the effect to be applied to the text your fonts must be embedded.
