I am looking to code a tooltip for a UILoader. The text for the tooltip will come from a parsed RSS feed.I see several examples of how to do this in AS2, but it seems that it was left out of AS3.Is there a component that will achieve this?

how to create dynamic button tooltip and get tooltip data from XML.
View 0 Repliesi have a gallery generated via xml - i have three text fields on the stage that display the title and description of the thumbnail item.
Code:
tn_title.text = "";
tn_desc.text = "";
tn_url.text = "";
I want to make the textfields into a 'tooltip' as opposed to appearing in the same place everytime - ideally within a few pixels of the thumbnail or the mouse. the latter might be the easier.
so i have put the three text fields into an MC and called it tip.
Code:
tip.tn_title.text = "";
tip.tn_desc.text = "";
tip.tn_url.text = "";
this works ok when the MC 'tip' is sitting on the stage. But the question is how do i get the MC to appear next to the thumbnail/mouse when a thumbnail is moused over?
here is the full shabang i highlighted the rows that i think are the relevant ones...
Code:

import org.papervision3d.scenes.*;
import org.papervision3d.cameras.*;
import org.papervision3d.objects.*;

I want to disable the tooltip on certain buttons.
The tooltip manager seems to be an all or nothing solution. Is it possible to disable the tooltip for just one or two buttons?
Ladies and Gentlemen, I was hoping to receive a little assistance from one of you fine flash developers out there, if you have the time. Here's my situation:I'm working on an interactive map.with is getting the tooltip to work right when you rollover a specific area. The tooltips content is dynamically generated from an XML file with the ID/name of the area and the number of photos. Also, the specific area needs to be a special color if it has photos associated with it, and just plan if it doesn't. An example of what the XML file will look like is listed below as well as a link to the actual map that I am working on.
View 2 RepliesI am adding some functionality to some Movie Clips as follows:
Code:
for (var i : uint = 0; i < regions.length; i++ ) {
// Define region
var region : MovieClip = getChildByName ('R' + regions[i]) as MovieClip;
region.alpha = 0.7;
[code]....
When the mouse is over the MC I would like to show the region name taken from regionNames[i] in a small box with black background.And when the mouse is out to fade out that tooltip.(I think I have all set with the loop and the MouseEvents)(I only need to create the tooltip for each MC).
I have the following code:
Code:
for(var r in map.Region){
var region : MovieClip = getChildByName ('R' + map.Region[r].Id) as MovieClip;
[code]....
Basically, I followed a tutorialand have a basic tooltip working (actions in layer1, frame1 of maintimeline).
Code:
tooltip._visible = false;
var tipInt;

I downloaded an Interactive Map from Active Den ... it came with an XML file that allows me to change some parts, but the part thatI need to change is not covered in the XML ... it needs to be changed in the Action Script.[URL]Basically when a landmark is moused over ... a box pops up that contains hrml (images, text. links, etc)The XML file allows me to set the max width of the pop up box.
The issue is that i need a box that is 225 px wide ... I also need another box that is 400 px wide The XML only allows me the set one width ... so I need another box (one for vertical layout, and one for horizontal layout) I thought I could duplicate the pop up box mc, and the box's Action Script (give them different names) and that would work, but I don't know exactly which parts to edit. [URL]Also, there is a screen shot of all movie clips, but the only mc that has any actions attached to it is "zoom_pan" it's at the very bottom of the list.

Ok so my document class loads pictures and adds them every so interval once they're done loading. So when the next picture loads, it will be higher on the display list than the picture previous to it(on the left). So if a child(a tooltip) of the previous picture(on the left) appears over the picture to the right, the tooltip will always appear underneath that following picture, since the tooltip is a child of the previous picture.how do i get it to appear above everything? (addChildAt won't work) . i need a quick fix, is there a way to get my document class to add that tooltip ?

function thumbOverHandler (e:Event):void {

}}
