[flexcoders] Re: Button with tooltip but no overskin

I should have noted that this is for Flex 3.

I created a subclass of ButtonSkin which overrides name() to return upSkin.

If anyone has a more elegant solution please let me know.

 I am simulating a menu bar of sorts using a horizontal layout of
 PopUpButtons and Buttons. The Buttons are just filler that need to
 follow the style of the others, but have no associated action. But
 some have meaningful labels and tooltips.

 In other words, I need to create a dead button with the same style
 as others, and a tooltip.

Probably no more elegant, but an alternative:

package

{

import mx.controls.Button;

import mx.core.mx_internal;




use namespace mx_internal;




public class DeadButton extends Button

{

public function DeadButton()

{

super();




mx_internal::overSkinName = upSkin;

}

}

}
