Try this:

            for each (var currPopup: UIComponent in allPopups)

Try this:

for (var i:int = systemManager.popUpChildren.numChildren - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
    var popup:IFlexDisplayObject = IFlexDisplayObject(systemManager.popUpChildren.getChildAt(i));
    PopUpManager.removePopUp(popup);
}
