I don't understand. UIComponents already have a toolTip property. When it is set, a tool tip automatically appears when the mouse moves over that component and stays there for a little while. Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team

I want to add a custom tooltip to it when someone mouse overs it. I can't figure out how to do it...I might need to implement ToolTipManager and use controls.ToolTip but that seems like too much work. I wouldn't want to listen for every time the mouse moves for the tooltip to follow it. What I would really like is a function like "dataTipFunction" that's on charts. Thanks everyone, Nate
