I had a similar problem where I was showing tooltips on dynamically created
radio buttons, but didn't want to show the tool tip if the radio button was
disabled, so I did the following.
1. On creation of the radio button, setup an empty tooltip...this was also
necessary so I could do the custom tooltips I needed:
radioBtn.toolTip = " ";
2. Then I put an event listener for TOOL_TIP_START on each radio button and
call a function:
radioBtn.addEventListener(ToolTipEvent.TOOL_TIP_START,killToolTip);
3. I then check to see if the radio button is enabled. If not, set the
tooltip to null:
public function killToolTip(event:ToolTipEvent):void {
if(!event.currentTarget.enabled) {
event.currentTarget.toolTip = null;
}
}
...and now no tooltip displays. If the radio button is enabled, Flex moves
on to my other listener and creates the custom tooltip:
radioBtn.addEventListener(ToolTipEvent.TOOL_TIP_CREATE,handleLabelRoll);
Hope this helps,
D
