Hi, I'm adding tooltips to my flash program and thought a good way to do this would be to make a tooltip class that extends MovieClip, and link in the library what needed tooltips. Just testing the waters, I can attach the class in the library, and put - for instance - a enterframe function and

I'm giving a link to my ToolTip class which may be of interest to you: http://nodename.com/blog/2005/09/12/tooltip/ Not that you have to do it all my way, but it may shed light. Also note that you almost certainly need only a single tooltip in your application; you can instantiate it the first
