Flex :: Displaying Black And Red ToolTips As Speech Baloons
Sep 7, 2011
I'm porting a card game from pure Flash/AS3 to Flex 4.5: I'm almost done, but the "speech baloons" marked by the blue color in the screenshot above are missing. Those "speech baloons" fade in, display red (if they contain hearts or diamonds char) or black text and finally fade out. I'm trying to implement those as mx.controls.ToolTips and have prepared a simple test case, where 3 users are represented by smiley-buttons and you can push a "Talk"-button to make them talk:

I have a flex app that used to be an internet based app. In it I have a function that creates tooltip error messages when I tell it to create an error message. I pulled this app out verbatim to a desktop app and restructured things a bit to get it to run, but I did not mess with the core fundamentals of the mxml file that utilizes this aside from changing the root tag from a type of 's:Group' to 's:Window'. Everything runs correctly, but the tooltips are not displaying.
Here's the tooltip code (inline mxml code in the fx:script cdata tag):
import mx.controls.ToolTip;
import mx.managers.ToolTipManager;
public var errorTip:ToolTip;
private function createErrorMsg(errorMsg:String, object:Object):void {
if (errorTip){ToolTipManager.destroyToolTip(errorTip);
[Code] .....
Basically, I pass the function a string and an object (text input, checkbox, button, etc...etc...) and it positions it and displays the error message. This fully works in my web version, but not in my desktop version.
Here's the code that instantiates the window:
var window:LoginWindow = new LoginWindow();
Window.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE;
Window.transparent = true;
Window.open(true);
Window.maximize()
On a side note, I check to see if the errorTip exists at the beginning of the function and then destroy it so that the higher scoped variable 'errorTip' always equals the reference to the currently displayed error. This allows me to just destroy that error tip on form validation and then error check again, but it only allows one tooltip to be displayed at a time. Is there a better way to query the tooltip manager for all of it's currently displayed tooltips and destroy them all?

I have a simple DataGrid in Flex 3:
<mx:DataGrid width="{indexW - 20}" height="100%"
headerHeight="0" resizableColumns="false"
dataProvider="{itemsList}"
itemClick="itemKlik(event)"
[code]....
What I want to do is to 'force' my DataGrid to display ERROR TOOLTIPS with 'errorTipRight' option instead of displaying a regular tooltips.

I am trying to adapt Ruben Sweringa's Flex-based interactive mindmap [URL] and I've got most of it sussed out. I'm just having a little difficulty with the tooltips and I was hoping someone/some people might be willing to help me out or offer some guidance on these three things:
1) How and where do I set hideDelay to Infinity so the tooltips don't disappear? I think that because Ruben's model uses FXCToolTip and FXCHTMLToolTip to extend ToolTip and ToolTipManager, if I try to modify ToolTipManager.hideDelay in the mxml, the value is ignored.
2) Is there a way to enable HTML formatting in the tool tips? FXCHTMLToolTip looks like it's supposed to read this code, but whenever I add such coding, Flex says "Error: XML is invalid" and the whole mindmap fails.

I'm trying to prevent a custom tooltip from disappearing. I've tried three runs at this, borrowing from the usual suspects: Peter Dehann, MonkeyPatch and others. As you can see from the code below I'd like to stay within the tool tip paradigm and not go to popups.
way to persist a tooltip? The intent here is to have a component which can be cut and paste from.

I'm developing with Flex 4 and have a problem with tooltips in skins. I want to define the tooltip behavior of a textinput in the skin (or other components). I create a new skin and try to add a tooltip attriute to the <s:sparkskin> directly and to the <s:RichEditableText> but the tooltips don't show up. First: Is it possible to define tooltip in skins? If not, why? Second: If it's possible, why doesn't it works

I'm using the tooltipManager as described [URL]. I want to display a custom tooltip for the buttons of a buttonbar. The buttonbar's declaration is as follow:
<mx:ButtonBar id="topToolbar" height="30" dataProvider="{topToolbarProvider}"
iconField="icon" itemClick="topToolbarHandler(event)"
buttonStyleName="topButtonBarButtonStyle"
toolTipField="tooltip"/>
Until here, everything works fine. I do see the proper text displaying in a tooltip. Then, I created a custom tooltip manager using the tutorial quoted previously:
public class TooltipsManager {
private var _customToolTip:ToolTip;
public function TooltipsManager() {
} public function showToolTipRight(evt:MouseEvent, text:String):void {
var pt:Point = new Point(evt.currentTarget.x, evt.currentTarget.y);
[Code] .....
Now, this is where I start having issues... I'm trying to get to use this custom tooltip, but I don't know how to get the buttonbar to take it into account. I created a function to see when could I call the functions in my TooltipsManager:
public function showTopToolbarTooltip(e:ToolTipEvent):void{
trace('blabla');
}
But it would seem that it's never taken into account. I've put this function in different buttonbar's events: tooltipcreate, tooltipstart, tooltipend but nothing happens. Not a single trace. Where to call the function of my tooltipManager?

I have a list of objects containing an icon, a label, and a tooltip. I want to show only the icon and the label. The tooltips should be visible on mouse over an item.
Is there a way i can achieve this without writing my own mouse-over/out functions?
(notice that dataTips are a different thing as they are displayed only when the label is cut)

I'd like to use tooltips with the same design as the error/validation tooltips (rounded box with a tip pointing to the mouse's position).Given the name "error/validation tooltips", it bothers me to use them as normal tooltips.I haven't found people having the same "principles" issue as myself..So, is it that bad to use the error/validation tooltips as normal tooltips? And, if yes, what would be the easiest way to re-use its design without rewriting much code?

I'm creating an flex 3 application with 3 togglebuttonbars. What i would like to do is disable the tooltip of the buttons on one togglebuttonbar. how i can access the buttons on the togglebuttonbar to disable the tooltips?
I don't want to disable all the tooltips off the total application(ToolTipManager.enabled = false;).
I have set the tooltip of the togglebuttonbar to null but it doesn't disable the creation of the buttons within the togglebutttonbar.
how i can disable the tooltips of the buttons on the togglebuttonbar?

On my flex (flash builder 4) DataGrid - DataGridColumn , I have set a custom itemRenderer
itemRenderer="myComponents.EncounterDGItemRenderer".
My renderer is a Label
public class EncounterDGItemRenderer extends Label
I found that my tooltips (datatips) stopped working once I started using this custom renderer. I also found that I can set the tooltip on the label in the
override protected function updateDisplayList
by setting:
toolTip=data['addedDate'];
This works find, however the problem is I need to choose a different data field based on the column. I was hoping for something similar to how a DataGridColumn labelFunction works - where I have access to "column.headerText" or "column.dataField". However I only have access to the underlying data object, not the name of what is being displayed (unless I am missing something).
Is there a way in a data grid item renderer to know what the column header text is, or do you have a different approach?

What I am trying to achieve might be trivial, however I am loading a PNG mask which does not have a transparent background, but rather a black background, with the shape defined on top in white (the actual mask which needs to be applied). Apparently Flex expects me to provide a mask with a transparent background for it to work, or am I missing something?
If that's the case, could I transform the bitmapData which I am loading so that it treats black color as transparent?

I am using ColorMatixFilter on an Image in Flex. I am really close to getting want I need out of the filter.Basically any PNG file the user uploads I want all pixels that are not transparent to be colored black. I have a function that sets the "brightness" already so I just through a really large negative number at it like -1000 and it does the job but the problem is any pixels that have any alpha to them, say 0.9 or below all end up being white when I encode my PNG file on the server later.
[Code]...
I would like all pixels to be solid black unless the pixel is completely transparent and not sure how to tweak the values to get that out of it.

when I try to make text or a button into a hyperlink within that tooltip, it doesn't seem to be usable in the preview. I click on the text/button, and it just doesn't do anything. I've tried coding it several different ways, and looked for an appropriate tutorial, but I haven't been able to find any luck. Is there something I'm missing? Can I even make hyperlinks in a tooltip that's made with that simplified code, or will I have to find another way to make them?

I have a flash file that I am scaling. There are buttons in the file that have tooltips that pop up when you roll over them.Problem is, the tooltips scale with the .swf file so they get huge and are not in the right spot over the button anymore.the tooltips will maintain a size without being scaled?

ForEVER I've been annoyed with tooltips in Flash. Yeah, I've turned them off in preferences, but that doesn't effect the ones in the ActionScript area. I've gone so far as to globally and specifically set tooltips to a delay of 60 seconds in my Mac terminal, effecting every application in my system, but this f^%king program over rides even that.

I have downloaded Lee Brimlows (gotoandlearn.com) tooltip example and I am trying to modify it so I can turn Tool tips on and off.
I have managed to come up with the function that turns them off,
b5.onPress = function()
{
unloadMovie(tooltip);
}
how to turn them back on with the click of a button.
I have tried
b6.onRelease
{
_parent.loadMovie("tooltip");
}
Code is listed below
tooltip._visible = false;
var tipInt;
b1.onRollOver = function() {

I am trying to develop a module for voice recognition that could be integrated with a pre-existing flash website. I don't need the full speech recognition functionality, but a limited set of it (only specific commands like next, go etc). I looked at some functionality available like speechapi.I did try to do a bit of flash training by myself since i got into this project. So anyway, if I have to go ahead, will I have to do this in Actionscript?

I have a set of dots I am placing on a map dynamically (using attachMovie) with an XML file giving the coordinates. I also am using the "hover caption" tutorial (great) to assign a tooltip for each dot. When I rollover the dots, the tooltip appears fine, but it is under the dots, not at the highest level. I have the level set to getNextHighestDepth():[code]Any ideas as to how to have the tooltip site on top of everything?

I'm developing a web user interface to enter some information that is not very complex but needs to be loaded in real time. I think that the application could make use of speech recognition to facilitate the task.
Te core of the interface is being built with Javascript and jQuery, but can easily include a flash or silverlight component. I believe thatīs probably the way to go. I don't need to recognize everything that the user says, but only a few prerecorded commands. Also, I don't want the user to click on a button to specify the begining and the end of the spoken command. It should be detected live.
Is there anything that does this? I would be grateful if anyone tells me about a complete solution, free or commercial, as well as any advice on capturing a sound stream from the mic and process it with flash or sliverlight.
