My one problem with the SkinnablePopups is they use a function called
updatePosition (or something like that) to position themselves. This
seems
okay, but what if you want to be able to give 1 popup multiple
places to
popup (based on user input). To solve this I've long since extended
the
SkinnablePopups to include additional parameters similar to the
callout's
functionality. Then the updatePosition (or whatever) function uses
those
parameters to position itself.
I'd probably push to add a few positioning parameters to the
SkinnablePopups.

You mean relative positioning to another component, or providing a
series of absolute x and y positions?
If you mean positioning relative to components, I have a layout
(layouts should position stuff) for positioning popups relative to
other components, that supports the same positioning s a Callout (the
code in Callout is pretty bad, layout all over the shop), and it also
supports the ability to control the positioning of a pointer as well.
It's a little strange how it works as you use the layout in the popup
skin, and it actually positiongs the content and the arrow, not the
component or the skin itself. I dig it out and provide an example.
