Hey Chris,
I forgot to mention a strange/weired problem with these rollovers. I
wasn't using onRelease in my old code i.e
txt.onRollOut = function() {
tt.removeTip();
}
It never worked for the 1st time.But if I click a 'dynamic text'box and
come back click on the textinput, it used to work fine as I was able to
enter data in textinput.But again if I go and click a button or
radiobutton and come to back to change data,it wont work(again I have to
click on dynamic text).This is a very strange problem as everytime I
click a button or someother thing(other than textinput boxes) it is
giving me a problem. I have no idea about this problem...

You're overwriting the onPress event on your text field. You need to
save your old onPress event before overwriting it, and make sure that it
is called:
class test {
private var txt:TextInput;
private function test() {
}
private function onLoad() {
//save the onPress handler
txt.oldOnPress = txt.onPress;
txt.onRollOver = function() {
tt = new
customToolTip(0xE5E5E5,0x022954,0x022954,20,10,15,20);
tt.showTip("Total sales.");
}
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = function() {
tt.removeTip();
//call the onPress Handler
oldOnPress();
}
I don't think my changes will compile, but I hope you get the idea. I
would suggest using the ascb.util.Proxy or mx.util.Delegate class to
more gracefully handle your handlers. Something like this:
import ascb.util.Proxy;
class test {
private var txt:TextInput;
private var oldOnPress:Function;
private var tt:ToolTip;
private function onLoad(){
oldOnPress = txt.onPress;
txt.onRollOver = Proxy.create(this, txtOver);
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = Proxy.create(this,txtPress);
}
private function txtOver(){
tt = new customToolTip(0xE5E5E5,0x022954,0x022954,20,10,15,20);
tt.showTip("Total sales.");
}
private function txtOut(){
tt.removeTip();
oldOnPress.apply(txt);
}
}
Hope this helps
Chris
