When I perform a Drag n Drop on one of my components I get my tool tip. I have implemented a custom tooltip using Adobe's example (the one with the Panel). Using the DragManager.isDragging in a couple of spots I can prevent the creation of my custom tool tip, but it defaults to creating the tool tip with the single space as defined below. Through trial and error I found the toolTip=" " is required in order for the custom tool tip to happen. It's this default tool tip I can't solve. The ToolTipEvent seems to be uncancelable, so I am stuck. I thought about trying to call destroyToolTip() on ToolTipManager, but I am afraid the default tool tip will still show. I haven't tried yet.
Thanks for any future help. . <view:MyParentContainer id="myPCont" height="100%" width="100> <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ : private function onCreateTooltip(event : ToolTipEvent) : void { if(DragManager.isDragging) return; myCont.createTooltip(event); } ]]> </fx:Script> <view:MyContainer id="myCont" height="100%" width="100%" toolTipCreate="onCreateTooltip(event)" toolTip=" "/> </view: MyParentContainer>
