Free Window/Window Component?

[Vadersapien]

just wondering if there was a free window/window component for as3 that will adress root problems

What root problems? And what do you need in a "window"? dialog-box chrome like titlebar, max/min/close buttons? resizability?

[Vadersapien]

the window needs to be able lock the root of the swf (like movieClip._lockroot = true in as2) i'm loading into it, and also have a titlebar and close button.

As long as you keep your loaded files in their Loader objects, the root will point to the loaded swf itself. At least that is my understanding from reading the documentation on the root property. I'd never used AS2 extensively, so I had to look up what lockroot was there too.

For windowing chrome, you can use flex classes, or aswing. There are probably others too, but I don't know them off the top of my head.

Are you trying to do a 'modal window'? (Window that needs to be dealt with and disables everything else while it is shown)

[Vadersapien]

it doesn't need to be a modal window
