Use a Timer to call destroyToolTip(). I believe that hideDelay only affects tooltips that are automatically shown, not ones that you show with createToolTip(). - Gordon From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alex Harui Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 4:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] ToolTipManager problem I think if the tooltip shows up under the mouse you may not get an itemRollOut and clean up the old one.

Here I have a component. Problem is that itemRollOver, itemRollout and change doesnt always close the tooltip. Then Im stuck with an open tooltip that can only be removed by reloading the application... I want to use ToolTipManager.hideDelay to automatically hide the tooltip after 2 seconds but Putting ToolTipManager.hideDelay = 2000 in an init method doesnt do it... Is there any other way I can get the tooltip to die after 2 seconds regardless of what mouse movements take place...? Thanks for any help... Kr.
