First, you must use the right variable.  s is nothing.  self.s is the 
right variable.

def flush(self):
    win32ui.MessageBox(self.s)

Then, check if your pop up window is buried under some other windows.
On my system if i execute
	win32ui.MessageBox("some message")
it works fine but the message box does not have the focus, it is not 
listed in the list of processes (i tried it on NT) and the only way
to see the message box is to hide all other windows.

Hint:
	hit <Window-key><M>  to hide all windows.
	hit <Window-key><shift><M> to restore all windows.
