I'm not sure about this, but you could try capturing a bitmap on
MouseOver (of every component) of event.target
var bd : BitmapData (event.target);
bd.draw (300, 300);
var bmp : Bitmap ( bd );
then try adding that bitmap to the main displayContainer ("the stage").
I hope this works as a starting point.

Subject: [flexcoders] How can I overlay a UIComponent on top of my
application?
Trying to figure out the best way to do this...
I have an image in my UI which is small. I want a larger version of it
to draw, attached to the mouse cursor, when the user rolls over it.
Kinda like a tooltip but moving along with the cursor. (Mixbook does
this if you've ever seen it)
I have it mostly working but my main issue is that I know I always
want the zoomed version of the image to draw on top of the entire UI.
These small images can be in any number of different types of
containers, so I can't addChild the UIComponent to the small image or
to its parent... needs to be something like a popup or tooltip.
Peeked a bit at SystemManager for this since that's what PopupManager
talks about... anyway, anyone have any insight on this? Should I make
it a cursor?
