[flexcoders] Custom ToolTip that accepts user interaction?

[David Ham]

I have a custom ToolTip class. When the user rolls over an item in a
list, the app creates an instance of the custom toolTip. I'd like to
have a LinkButton or linked htmlText in the toolTip that the user
could click on, but in the default behavior, the tooltip disappears as
soon as I roll off the item. Is there any way to prevent this from
happening?

Here is the item that triggers the tip:

    <mx:Button 
        width="20" 
        height="20" 
        label="+" 
        toolTip=" " 
        toolTipCreate="createToolTip( data, event )" />

And here is createToolTip():

public function createToolTip( obj : Object, event : ToolTipEvent ):void {
    var item : FeedItem = obj as FeedItem;
    var tip : ItemToolTip = new ItemToolTip();
    tip.item = item;
    event.toolTip = tip;
}


Thanks for any help you can offer,

OK
