Copying to clipboard is different thing. You can copy stuff to clipboard once you have access to it. Selected text in the HTML component is buried somewhere deep in the component and it's hard to dig it out. Anyway I achieved the same by adding JavaScript to get the selection and then AS to do

The doc says don't call destroyToolTIp on the current tooltip. I'd search around to see if anyone else has a way of causing a tooltip to go away, but I'd probably do it by faking a mouse event instead of calling an mx_internal method. From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Usually you don't need a hide phase to the button. Once shown, clicking anywhere will hide it. Only set the flag to false on MENU_HIDE. From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of prashant194 Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2008 2:08 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com

There's two things to keep in mind when pondering bindings: 1) Bindings work on property chains, using chains of ChangeWatcher instances. It's only a couple of pages of code, and pretty easy to get your head around. You're right that they simply stop when they get to a null, and return null. 2)
