Flex :: Display A Tooltip Only If The Mouse Cursor Is Within Certain Coordinates?
Feb 24, 2011
Within my component, I'm drawing some rectangles as below:
[Code]...
I need to display a custom tooltip for each rectange when the mouse cursor is hovering over it.
How can I do this? I'm using the MouseMove event to track when the cursor moves over these coordinates (that part is working), but when I change the tooltip text it's not refreshing
private function this_MOUSE_MOVE(event:MouseEvent):void
[code]...
EDIT: The problem seems to be with the following line:
ToolTipManager.destroyToolTip(_myToolTip);
If I comment out the preceding line, it will display the new tooltip, but it will keep creating new ones and the old ones never get removed. But if I add that line, it doesn't add any tooltips! Is the code not being executed sequentially, i.e., is the code to remove the tooltip somehow getting executed after the code to add the tooltip?

i'm trying to trace the x and y coordinates from within a sprite. i've added a rectangle to the stage:
var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(10, 10, 200, 200);
addChild(rect);
rect.x = rect.y = 100;
adding a Mouse_Move event to the rect, i can trace mouseX and mouseY to receive the coordinates of the stage while moving over the rect, but how do i get the local x and y coordinates? so if i mouse over the very top left of the rect sprite, the mouseX and mouseY return 10 as the global coordinates, but how do i make it return 0 and the local coordinates of the sprite?
i assumed localX and localY was what i was looking for, but this doesn't work:
function mouseOverTraceCoords(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
trace(mouseX, mouseY, evt.localX, evt.localY);
}

When tracing the mouseX / mouseY or localX / localY coordinates of a display object, why does x start at 1 while y starts at 0? For example, I've drawn a simple 400 x 400 pixel sprite onto the stage with a MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE event listener that calls a handler function to trace the local coordinates of the mouse. The first, top-left pixel returns {x:1, y:0} and the last, bottom-right pixel returns {x:400, y:399}. Shouldn't both the x and y start and end with the same value? I'm not sure which makes more sense for a the first mouse coordinate (either 0 or 1) but it certainly doesn't make sense that they are different?

I have an AdvancedDataGrid that uses HierarchicalData to display data in a tree format. For one of the columns, I'm using an AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider to conditionally display an image if certain conditions are met. I'm currently using the ToolTipManager to display additional information if the user mouses over the image.Here's what I would like to do:Instead of showing the toolTip when the user places their mouse over the image, I would like to automatically display the toolTip whenever the image is visible in the AdvancedDataGrid. If the user scrolls through the AdvancedDataGrid, the toolTip should move and follow along with its image accordingly.
Sample AdvancedDataGrid:
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="myAdvancedDataGrid"
displayItemsExpanded="true"

When a Validator (i.e. StringValidator, NumberValidator, etc) dispatches an invalid event due to validation failure, the errorString property of the source control (i.e. TextInput) is set to a non-empty string which creates a red border around the control and shows an toolTip (errorTip) ONLY when the mouse hovers over the control. Question: Can you force immediate display of the toolTip (errorTip) rather than waiting for the user to hover over the control? If so, how?

I developed an application in flex. In my application I placed an image and set the tooltip property. I also changed the image Hand cursor property to true. Here I need that, the tooltip must be move with hand cursor.

my mission is to select an item in a DataGrid instance with nothing but the coordinates on screen.
We are implementing right-click functionality in our Flash application, with the goal of being able to right-click a DG row, which would select that row plus show a popup window containing some context commands.
I have managed to get the right click event into my Flex app with the help of this site.
Further progress so far has been to obtain the DataGrid instance via
var objects : Array = this.getObjectsUnderPoint(new Point(this.mouseX, this.mouseY));
and then to investige each of the array's items, for one of those 'parent.parentList' refers to the DataGrid instance.
I couldn't find any point-to-item converter function or anything.
PS: Using the standard Flash ContextMenu is, unfortunately, not an option.

I am trying to change the cursor with coordinates.
I have attached the cursor to the mouse, which is a Red Circle
what I want to happen is when it gets beyond the half way point on the screen for it to turn blue.
I can do it as a rollover but I need to make it to it with if statements and coordinates.
Below is the code I have used to attache the cursor to the mouse
circle_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._x = _xmouse;
this._y =_ymouse;
Mouse.hide();
};

Is it possible to disable mousewheel scrolling on my webpage while the cursor is over my flex application?

I am aware that the follow will show a hand cursor:
component.mouseChildren = true;
component.useHandCursor = true;
component.buttonMode = true;
When I do the above on a List component, the hand button is shown and the whole component loses it's interactivity (Hand cursor is shown even on scrollbars).
So how can I show the hand cursor only when rolling over the list items?

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 ?

I want to have the mouse cursor to be changed to hand when used for entering the<mx:textInput>. When the field is already on focus, text selection should be available.I tried any combination of useHandCursor="true", buttonMode="true" and mouseChildren="false",and the closest result is when using all three of them. Then the hand cursor does appear, but the text field loses its selection 'abilities' (text cannot beselected using the mouse). This is logical, since mouseChildren="false" disables this. But how do I acheive the desired result?

I was trying to convert global coordinates to local coordinates of a UIComplenent in my flex project using below code using below code
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
uic is UIComponent in which I have subclass of Sprite for drawing something I have set the sprite's mouseEnabled and mouseChildren to false to not interrupt the mouse event. above code is within uic's mousemove event where I was tracing the gp and lp gp was giving correct value and suprisingly lp was giving negetive values. when I move the move to the top left corner of uic i expect lp to be 0,0 but it is giving the -width of of uic. I broke my head for hours and ended up finding an alternate by using offsets. Infact my original code was much simpler like this which was same issue
var lp:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
I am not sure what exactly is causing this problem. the workaround had lot of issues and it creating a mess in my rest of the algorithms.Just now I found even more interesting thing (which is actually weird). for some reason I went and create a new lp2
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
now surprisingly it was giving correct values as expected and I went back and changed the code as
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
var lp2:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp);
now it is expected to have all the lp, lp2 and lp3 variables to be same but weiredly lp two is giving wrong value and lp2 and lp3 were giving correct. I am suspecting using the variable lp has something to do. I am not sure about that but above proves it so right now I am using lp2.

I have a sprite on which I have added two textfields side by side, horizontally. I have set the buttonmode of sprite = true. But the mouse cursor changes from regular to clickable only when I hover it on the textfields. In the empty area between the two textfields, the cursor still appears regular/normal.

I'm using the code below to add a follow mouse tooltip effect. The resulting swf is working correctly. However when I load the swf into my main movie the tooltip is placed well away from the mouse???
PHP Code:
function syncCursor(evt:Event):void {
TweenMax.to(toolTip, 0.75,{x:stage.mouseX, y:stage.mouseY, roundProps:["x","y"], ease:Expo.easeOut});
function thumbOverHandler (e:Event):void {
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, syncCursor);

I have create a simple tooltip movieclip that follows the mouse. the tooltip will popup when I hover over another movieclip, but when the tooltip is visible and I move the mouse onto the tooltip it disappears, because I have a mouse out event on the second movieclip to remove the tooltip. Is there a way to make the tooltip visible but not affect anything, such as mouse over and mouse out?

not quite sure of the best/easiest way is to do it - call from the library and attach to mouse or something along those lines?
