Popup in JSFF not showing

Question

I have some code that I was testing in a separate application until I got it working. Essentially, I have a horizontally scrollable image list. When clicking on the image, a dynamically constructed popup menu shows up and when selecting a menu item, data is inserted based on the menu item clicked on. This worked when I had all my code in a JSPX. The popup was in a form.
However, in our real application, we use fragments. So I put the popup in the JSFF where the image list is just under the jsp:root. I got this warning that says: "Fragment with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region."
When I click on my image, the action listener fires and everything seems to be fine except that the popup does not show up. This is the method I call to show the popup:
     * Opens the RichPopup based on the key.
     * @param popupId - component ID of popup
     * @param alignId - component ID of component to align to
    public static void showPopup(String popupId, String alignId) {
        FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder();
        script.append("var popup = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent('").append(popupId).append("'); ").append("if (!popup.isPopupVisible()) { ")
            .append("var hints = {}; ").append("hints[AdfRichPopup.HINT_ALIGN_ID] = '").append(alignId).append("'; ")
            .append("hints[AdfRichPopup.HINT_ALIGN] = AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_AFTER_END; ").append("popup.show(hints);}");
        ExtendedRenderKitService erks = Service.getService(context.getRenderKit(), ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
        erks.addScript(context, script.toString());
    }This worked fine in the JSPX version. So I'm wondering if there's something I need to do to get this to work. I should be able to have an inline popup in a JSFF, right? Is there a specific place where I'm supposed to put it?
Here's JSFF:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1" xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich"
          xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
  <af:panelTabbed id="pt2">
  </af:panelTabbed>
  <af:popup id="vmenu" clientComponent="true">
    <af:menu text="menu 1" id="m2" binding="#{pageFlowScope.mainPageFlowBean.serviceMenu}"></af:menu>
  </af:popup>
</jsp:root>I can put more detailed code if need be.
Thanks.

Eric,
the problem seems to be that you don't find the popup using AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent(...) with your ID. Have you checked that you indeed get the popup using this function?
