The owner of this IVisualElement object.
By default, it is the parent of this IVisualElement object.
However, if this IVisualElement object is a child component that is
popped up by its parent, such as the drop-down list of a ComboBox control,
the owner is the component that popped up this IVisualElement object.
<p>This property is not managed by Flex, but by each component.
Therefore, if you use the <code>PopUpManger.createPopUp()</code> or
<code>PopUpManger.addPopUp()</code> method to pop up a child component,
you should set the <code>owner</code> property of the child component
to the component that popped it up.</p>
