Oggetto: FlexEvent.BACK_KEY_PRESSED does not fire on FirstView

Hi All

i have being working on a mobile app with some Popups creating upon user inputs 
in the applications first view. when user click device back button i want to 
close the popups instead of closing the app.

I can listen to BACK_KEY_PRESSED event and preventDefault() to stop 
viewnavigator going in to a previous view, but this is not working in the 
FirstView

i found this jira relating to the same issue

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-26452

does anyone have a fix for this
or what are the workarounds

simply i want to close Popupus if there is one open in the first view instead 
of closing the app

Thanks
Sumudu
