i got a solution to this problem. Make few changes in the drawtheline component.
Code : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Box xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml&usg=AFQjCNEtcLsIWFCjy8rhxFxIJ8W2RHUpyw>" width="400" height="300" creationComplete="createLine()" borderColor="#00FF00" borderStyle="solid" mouseMove="findTarget(event)"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ *import* mx.core.UIComponent; *import* mx.controls.Alert; *private* *function* findTarget(event:MouseEvent):*void*{ *if* (event.target.name == *"uiTest"*) *this*.toolTip=*"this tooltip is coming only for the line"*; *else * *this*.toolTip = *""*; } *private* *function* createLine():*void*{ *var* g:Shape = *new* Shape(); g.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0xFF0000, .75); g.graphics.moveTo(0,0); g.graphics.lineTo(400,300); g.name = *"line"*; *this*.uiComp.addChild(g); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:UIComponent id="uiComp" name="uiTest"/> </mx:Box> Noe you can see the tool tip only for the line, not for the component.... :) Akshar Kaul On Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 12:23, Akshar Kaul <[email protected]> wrote: > i am creating the line using graphics methods. i dont think they support > event listeners. > > Akshar Kaul > > > > On Tue, Jun 1, 2010 at 19:09, valdhor <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> >> If it were me, I would create a custom tooltip; add a mouseover event >> listener to your line; check the color directly under the mouse pointer and >> show the tooltip. >> >> >> --- In [email protected] <flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, >> "akshar" <akshar.k...@...> wrote: >> > >> > i have a line in my application. i require that a tooltip should come >> > only on the line.
