RE: [flexcoders] How can I change ToolTip styles for each tooltip in an application?

[Rick Winscot]

There are quite a few ways to do this. here is 'quickie' that comes to mind.
Create a function that wraps ToolTip styles.

 

private function setToolTipStyle( font:String = "normal", size:String =
"19", family:String = "Arial", color:String = "#000000", bgColor:String =
"#BBEEEE" ):void {

  StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("ToolTip").setStyle("fontStyle", font);

  StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("ToolTip").setStyle("fontSize", size);

  StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("ToolTip").setStyle("fontFamily",
family);

  StyleManager.getStyleDelaration("ToolTip").setStyle("color", color);

  StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("ToolTip").setStyle("backgroundColor",
bgColor);

}

 

Then use the toolTipCreate event  to do the magic as follows.

 

<mx:Button label="Button" toolTip="foo bar"
toolTipCreate="setToolTipStyle('italic', '10', 'Arial', '#FF0000',
'#CCCCCC');"/>

 

This approach can be used/applied to ToolTip skinning as well.

It seems like the only way to manipulate ToolTip style is through the
css ToolTip. I'd like to have different styles for different
tooltips. How would that be done?
