Hi Michael,
First: You may NEVER ever ever use _root in a class. A class has to be
able to function anywhere, and the way you have coded it now, it needs a
fixed timeline to work. Pass '_root' as an argument to the constructor
and store it as an instance variable.
And inside the onEnterFrame, you can use 'this' to refer to the tooltip
movieclip.
Are you certain it is removed (trace(this)) or is it just out of sight ?
Greets,

Hi list...
I can't figure out why the onEnterFrame attached to _root.tooltip in my
displayTip function removes that MC after one frame. If I set the
onEnterFrame to alter any other MC on the stage, no problem, but when I
set it to alter itself, it errors. Any ideas?
Thanks,
- Michael M.
class toolbarFunctions extends MovieClip {
private var tipID:Number;
function toolbarFunctions() {
}
function onRollOver():Void {
tipID = setInterval(this, "displayTip", 1000);
}
function onRollOut():Void {
_root.tooltip.removeMovieClip();
clearInterval(tipID);
}
function displayTip():Void {
clearInterval(tipID);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("tooltip", 554);
_root.tooltip.createTextField("tip", 1, 0, 0, 100, 100);
_root.tooltip.tip.text = "hi";
// FAILS HERE:
_root.tooltip.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
_root.tooltip._x = _root._xmouse;
_root.tooltip._y = _root._ymouse;
};
}
}
