Gigya crashing my Flex app when I use it in a pop up, but otherwise it's fine

I have a Gigya Flex component:

              )

             wfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,

                  wfLoaderBox.addChild(uic);

            }
     }
    ]]></mx:Script>
</mx:Canvas>

From my main view in my app, I basically embed this component. I wanted to do it as a popup like so:

private function shareThisQuiz():void{
       results.enabled = false;
       var gigya:Gigya = new Gigya();
       PopUpManager.addPopUp(gigya, this);
       PopUpManager.centerPopUp(gigya);

       gigya.addEventListener(Gigya.EVENT_FINISHED, gigyaFinished);
      }

but this crashes my app. So for now I have to do it like:

<comps:Gigya id="gigya" visible="false" finished="gigyaFinished()" />

and set it to visible when I want to "pop it up". Does anyone know why this would crash my app (and browsers)?

Thanks!
