I'm giving a link to my ToolTip class which may be of interest to you: http://nodename.com/blog/2005/09/12/tooltip/
Not that you have to do it all my way, but it may shed light. Also note that you almost certainly need only a single tooltip in your application; you can instantiate it the first time it's needed and then just hide and display it thereafter. It doesn't need to be tied to the MC it's appearing on top of; it just has to show up in the right place. See the part of the code that uses localToGlobal() etc. -A _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
