I have a nice looking fxg button, to which I want to attach a tooltip- how do I achieve that without much hassle? (the spark button does this out-of-box, but is not very visually pleasing)The examples I have seen on search is reverse- using fxg effects in the tooltip.

View 1 RepliesI have tooltips in flex but when a component is clicked the tooltip disappears and the user has to move mouse out of the control and then back into the control to display the tooltip.
Is there a way to prevent the tooltip from getting destroyed on mouse click. I tried calling e.stopImmediatePropagation(); e.preventDefault(); on mouse click event of button. also tried handling and preventing tooltipEnd and tooltipHide events but they are not fire when the button is clicked.
So I was working normally, and accidentally hit the profiling button after that, I later decided to export my current.air.URL...Why would the export button disappear all the sudden? I cannot find it at all. It seems rather interesting not being able to export a .air and provide an installer.

View 1 RepliesIn TFS 2010 build, I have a new build and I want to call an ant script that builds Flash. How do I call the ant script? Also How can I compile the Flash directly? I've seen the Power Tools and this question but it doesn't help me as we don't have TFS 2008. I can't find any documentation on how to use the power tools except the 1 sentence on the bottom of download page saying to create your build the old way and import it (which isn't very helpful). I've installed the power tools on the agent computer but I don't see any new options in the Toolbox when I'm designing the build flow.
View 2 RepliesI just started working with ant a few days ago. Right now I have a general buildall.xml which should call each project's build.xml. Because some projects depend on each other, I need to rebuild some other projects which depend on it. This isn't a problem--I'm just setting the depends property of the target. However, ant is always building the dependencies, even when the files haven't changed.Let's say project1 has no dependencies; project2 depends on project1; project3 depends on project1, 2; project4 depends on project1, 2, and 3; and so on.I could hack a solution which looks at project K, and checks if project 1 .. project K have updated files using uptodate. If so, then run the target. This is messy and appears unnecessary.
What is the cleanest way to implement this?EDIT: So I decided to just hack in a bunch of targets, "check_projectK" where it does the uptodate checks on all of its source files, its build file, and the build files of the 1 .. K-1 projects. Due to dependencies, this is always handled correctly. However, this is still a large amount of copy and paste for a large workspace.
What I'm trying to do: build a super simple button skin (say a small circle when in up state, slightly larger circle when in over / down states) that has a larger mouse hit area than visible area. In other words, I'd like the button to look like a 5x5 circle when in up state, but transition to over state when the mouse is in a 15x15 pixel area around such circle - in order to make clicking on the button easier.
What I've done in the past is to use a transparent ellipse behind the the visible ellipse. This works nicely but seems like a waste of memory (not much, although if you start having a lot of these buttons it adds up) and rendering cycles (transparency). I thought I could avoid this by wrapping the ellipse in a group with a given size and listen to its mouse events, but somehow no mouse events seem to fire on such a group - not sure why.
I guess I'd love to know if anyone knows an efficient way to do this. Also would love to know why such a group won't fire mouse events, but I guess that's secondary. Simple code snippet below:

View 1 RepliesI've got a simple text input which I want to use the errorstring tooltip on, ie. when you assign a value to errorstring it colours the textinput red and shows an error tooltip when you hover the mouse over it.
This all works fine, but there is a long delay (maybe 10 seconds) between when the mouse is over the offending textinput and when the tooltip appears. Does anyone know how to influence this delay? I've had a good look around, but can't find anything.
I have a form with a TextInput that has a custom Validator. I call the Validator logic and handle the result programmatically. This all works fine, except for one problem. The TextInput gets highlighted when it is invalid, but the toolTip that contains the errorMsg does not display until I roll the mouse cursor over the TextInput. Is there anyway to get the toolTip to show programmatically?
