I want something that is permanently displayed until the user takes a specific action. I combine this with having the buttons flashing to "instruct" the users on how to perform a task. You could also display the help tip in a Callout, available for desktop > apps in SDK 4.10 / 4.11 > http://flex.apache.org/asdoc/ then search for spark.components.Callout > You can change the callout default style to make it look more like a help > bubble. > I was not aware of this, so thanks for pointing this out.
