Description

Steps to reproduce:
1.Add a component containing combo box and tooltip to main application windowed application
2.Remove it from main app and add it to new mx:window
3. Now click on combo the dropdown opens up in the main window and not the new mx:window

Actual Results:
tooltip and combo dropdown open up in main application

Expected Results:
tooltip and dropdown should open up in new parent window

Workaround (if any):
The workaround is to actually remove the ComboBox from the component instead of it's container.

In the handlePopOut(event:Event) function, you should have:

var tempChildObject:DisplayObject = (Canvas)(tempManagedWin.getChildAt(0)).getChildAt(0).getChildAt(1);
(Canvas)(tempManagedWin.getChildAt(0)).getChildAt(0).removeChildAt(1);

instead of:
var tempChildObject:DisplayObject = tempManagedWin.getChildAt(0);
//tempManagedWin.closePanel();
tempManagedWin.removeChildAt(0);

The way it's written, the Canvas is removed instead of the ComboBox.
