context menu max on non active window does not maximize correctly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. This can be seen by the mdi explorer at 
http://www.returnundefined.com/flexmdi/explorer/
2. Go to the above site and right click on window 1 and select maximize 
without making the window active.
3. Window 1 will be maximized but window 2 can be seen inside of window 1

What is the expected output?Window should be maximize without other 
windows being visible. What do you see instead? Other windows can be seen 
when the non active window is maximized thru the context menu. Perhaps the 
option should not visible if the window is active or make the window 
active when context menu is shown.

What version of the product are you using?I believe its version 1.0 that 
the site http://www.returnundefined.com/flexmdi/explorer/ is using. On 
what operating system? XP

Please provide any additional information below.

This also causes an exception when you double click on the title bar to restore:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object 
reference.

For the exception it caused because restoreTo function paramter in 
getWindowRestoreEffect() is null. I fixed it by saving off the setting before 
the 
maximize is performed so in the maximize() function I call savePanel() which 
should 
avoid the null reference.

I also worked around the original issue by bringing the window to the front in 
the 
maximize() function e.g. bringToFront();
