How to show popup from backing bean code immediately?

Question

Hi,
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.2.1.0 and have problems with showing popups. I have a button with an action on my page and a method in backing bean.
I want to rise up few popups from this method in backing bean (for example just an anouncement that something will happen) or a dialog
(for example a question if you want to continue).
I understand how to get a dialog response to deal with it in code, but the problem is that the popup doesn't show up immediately, but only when
this method called on button finishes. I'd like to handle dialog responses in the middle of the action and then the code to continue with the execution.
Here is my backing bean code:
private RichPopup popup;
public String test() {
//Some code...
RichPopup.PopupHints hints = new RichPopup.PopupHints();
popup.show(hints);
//Here is the place for code which I want to be executed after popup closes,
//but is executed before the popup shows...
return null;
And here is part of my jssf:
<af:commandButton text="Test" id="cb1"
action="#{popupBean.test}"/>
<af:popup id="popup" binding="#{popupBean.popup}">
<af:dialog id="dialog" type="yesNo"
title="Dialog"
dialogListener="#{popupBean.onDialogAction}"
binding="#{popupBean.dialog}" clientComponent="true">
<af:outputText value="Do you want to continue?" id="ot1"/>
<af:clientListener method="onDialogCancel" type="dialog"/>
<af:serverListener type="DialogCancelHandlerEvent" method="#{popupBean.onDialogCancel}"/>
</af:dialog>
</af:popup>
Can someone give me some answer how to show the popup from backing bean code immediately?
Thanks in advance,
Tina

If you want to execute code after popup closes, then put this code in PopupCanceledListener or in DialogListener(you can't block method execution).
