I had been trying that without success. It turns out after I changed the viewStack index, I called some code that turned the dataTips back on. So even though the code looked like this
turn off datatips change view stack to display another component turn datatips on the datatips stayed on. I guess flex either never noticed that the datatips were off or updated the display of the hidden component just before displaying the newly active component. the joys of event driven programming. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Ely Greenfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > That sounds like an unfortunate bug.
