disable the module by showing a transparent layer showing a message

I have a current flex application based on pure MVC . The application is a module which will be loaded by another application.

What i want to do is as follows.

On clicking a button on the screen. I should disable any activity in the module . The way i want implement is to display a transparent window with a message saying this module is disabled.

there will be a message that will be send by the enclosing application to this module .Upon receiving this message i want to enable to application.

How can i do that ?

Should I use a canvas with a message and add the canvas as a child ?

Hi,

I think you can just make a modal popup with a message and achieve this.

I want to display a transparent window that covers the entire screen . It should mimick as if there is a thin layer on top the screen.

Can i make the modal popup cover the entire screen,so that it gives the impression what i wanted?

This is not working for the module. It works for the application.

can some one provide a solution for this issue.

Is masking the solution ?
