What about an onClick event in the Parent layer that checks to see if the pop up window is open? If it is, then you can close it. You can also try an onMouseDown (or onMouseUp) event, which should be firing. Technically where there is one there should be the other, but I have seen problems with onClick that having the onMouseUp event solved.
