No, it does not. It does, however, have a pretty powerful regex parser, so instead of “myString.replaceAll(‘,’,’ ‘)” I can do a “myString.replace(/,/g, ” “)“. It is definitely a one-liner to use a global regex, but its not intuitively obvious.. and while coding a useless while loop, I looked over the API one more time and saw how easy it could be solved.

When you use the PopupManager in Flex by default it will include a blur effect, as well as place a transparent layer on top of the background. This looks very nice, but it was slightly too light for my taste. After what seems too long of a search, I finally found something. As expected, it can be configured using css.

For example, to remove the blur effect, one can:

global{
	modalTransparencyBlur: 0;
}

In my case, this is what I used for the “after” you see in the image above:

global{
	modalTransparency: 0.6;
	modalTransparencyBlur: 5;
	modalTransparencyColor: #000000;
	modalTransparencyDuration: 100;
}

I’ve been coding using Flex at work, and most often than not, I need to look this up… To make the right character appear on the mxml widget, just add an ampersand (&) and a pound sign (#), followed by a 3-digit number, and ending with a semicolon (;).
