Flex 4 (Air) - ShowDialog-like behavior

Question

The ShowDialog function in VB.NET allows a child window (form) to be opened in front of another without letting the user interact with the parent window until the child is closed.

To see what I'm referring to (in Windows), open up notepad, click help > about, and then click back on the main window. You'll notice that the dialog flashes and makes a noise. That happens with dialogs in a great many applications, and that is what I'm trying to achieve.

I can't seem to find any way to replicate this in Flex 4 (Air) applications. Any suggestions?

Based on your comment, you then have to create a new window component(mxml component with the functionality and interface you want defined in it) and can then attach it to the click event of the link/button on the main window. And for the focus issue you can use setFocus from IFocusManager component
