(derailed discussion) Ideally, Flex would detect the OS and behave accordingly, but at the very least, it should incorporate accepted UI standards that are common to all major platforms. For example, it's very rare to see a tooltip appear anywhere but at the corner of the mouse cursor. And right-clicking on a grid item usually selects it. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Which os?
