This should work.

Add the following custom properties on the popup.  
mX (Integer)  
mY (Integer)

On the mousePressed event of the popup, enter the following:

`event.source.mX = event.x
event.source.mY = event.y`

On the mouseDragged event of the popup, enter the following:

[code]  
window = system.gui.getParentWindow(event)  
mouseX = event.x  
mouseY = event.y  
windowX = window.getX()  
windowY = window.getY()

window.setLocation(mouseX+windowX-event.source.mX,mouseY+windowY-event.source.mY)[/code]
