I think you intercept TOOL_TIP_SHOW and give it a different position. The ToolTipMgr should have placed it already where it think it should be.
You can set the ToolTipManager.toolTipClass to have all instances of tooltips be something else, but you should extend ToolTip in your custom ToolTip. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ethan Miller Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 9:59 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Positioning Custom ToolTips Greetings - Per the Flex documentation, I'm using a custom component as a ToolTip by intercepting the toolTipCreate event, as describe below: "In your application, you can create a custom ToolTip by intercepting the toolTipCreate event handler of the target component. In the event handler, you instantiate the new ToolTip and set its properties. You then point the toolTipproperty of the ToolTipEvent object to the new ToolTip." Unlike using the ToolTip Manager, however, which accepts x,y positioning arguments, it's unclear how to position the custom tooltip invoked using the intercept and custom class approach.... So, this leaves me with two questions: 1. Using a custom class or component created using the incercept approach, is there a way to position the tip? or 2. Is there way to use a custom class or component for the tip when using ToolTip Manager to create them? Thanks! ethan
