Interesting. One option is to set the x and y attribes of the tooltips in the toolTipShown event handler of the relevant component. The event handler might look like: event.toolTip.x = xPos; event.toolTip.y = yPos; Could you let me know what you come up with? Thanks, Nick --- In flexcoders@y

2006-07-04 Thread n51red
I wouldn't say that. The issue is that containers carry with them a substantial processing burden. So it you've got a lot of components visible (say, 20 or 30) with borders added to them in this way, you may start to notice a lag as the components are rendered. N51 --- In flexcoders@yahoogroup
