Where are you getting the LocationScreen class from?

[BeMor]

Sorry you seem to have edited your post as I was replying, do you still have an issue with the popup displaying?

[ahisaye]

Thanks I got it working.

The LocationScreen was a popup however I got that working using:

_app.pushGlobalScreen(popUp, 1, true); (which is depreciated)

However is there a better way to do this?

I tried:

_app.pushGlobalScreen(popUp, 1, UiEngine.GLOBAL_MODAL);

But it couldn't find the UiEngine.

You may need to import the right package. If you get an error like this, save your current document and right click and select copy import something something and paste at the top of your class with the rest of the other imports. Hope this helps.
