hey, so you are the one visiting today ... :-)
Susan and I (and two other engineers) work together on this project,
she's the graphic designer doing all front/back end user interface
design.
The red errorMessage shown on startup is indeed just a "toolTip"
property on "new doc" button, but I manually dispatch a roll-over event
for that button and forced ToolTipManager to show the tip immidately.
After the message was shown, I changed the "toolTip" for "new doc"
button back to normal message ("click here to create a new document"),
so next time when user rollover the button it won't display a red
errorMessage again.
As to the notion of "Self-guided application", yes, I believe it's very
do-able, one can even implement a "GuideManager" to sequence the time
and places
where tips should be displayed, there are infinite possibilities with Flex 2 :-)

Susan Song or Jeremy Lu,
I liked the
RiaNotes entry in the
Developer Derby Showcase. The MDI approach has generated new ideas. For the min/max/close buttons, it looks like you extended Panel.
Or maybe you went further up. I was wondering how you went about displaying the errorMessage at startup.
Showing and hiding a message like that would be a good technique for a self-guided application. Care to share?
Sincerely,Tim Hoff
