Is there a way to listen for events on the pop up manager class?

Question

I\'m trying to detect when pop ups are visible (including tool tips if possible). The reason is that I need to hide or freeze (capture a snapshot) the Stage* components (StageWe

For my Spark Application I had to make a few other modifications to RIAStar's answer. My custom class was not found in the preloader.initialize() yet ( ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.getDefinition()) so I added an event listener for the PRELOADER_DOC_FRAME_READY event.

package com.mydomain.preloaders {

    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.system.ApplicationDomain;
    import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;

    import mx.core.Singleton;
    import mx.events.FlexEvent;
    import mx.preloaders.SparkDownloadProgressBar;

    public class RegisteringPreloader extends SparkDownloadProgressBar {

        public function RegisteringPreloader() {

        }

        public var preloaderSprite:Sprite;

        override public function set preloader(value:Sprite):void {
            super.preloader = value;

            preloaderSprite = value;

            value.addEventListener(FlexEvent.PRELOADER_DOC_FRAME_READY, preloaderCompleteHandler);

        }

        protected function preloaderCompleteHandler(event:Event):void {
            var myCustomClass:Class;
            var classPath:String;
            var hasDefinition:Boolean;

            preloaderSprite.addEventListener(FlexEvent.PRELOADER_DOC_FRAME_READY, preloaderCompleteHandler);

            classPath = "com.domain.managers::MyClassImpl";
            hasDefinition = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.hasDefinition(classPath);

            if (hasDefinition) {
                myCustomClass = Class(getDefinitionByName(classPath));

                Singleton.registerClass("mx.managers::ISingletonClass", myCustomClass);
            }
        }
    }
}

The rest of the steps are the same as RIAStar's.
