Yeah, I tried a lot of methods to attempt to get the tooltip to
disappear and ran into just too many problems. I'm sure there's a way
tho using some ridiculous workaround. If you find the answer, please
post it!
And, perhaps I should've mentioned this earlier, but I do have a ToolTip
class available on my website:
http://ubergeek.tv/article.php?pid=96
I just updated it with the latest version, which has a couple
fixes/features added. For my own projects, I don't actually use
onRollOver/Out etc. for toolitps because they generally muck up event
handling elsewhere. I don't recommend my method necessarily but it has
worked for me in the past better than mucking with event handling.
Adding a tooltip to a TextInput using my method is as simple as this:
ToolTip.getInstance().addClip(txt, "My tooltip text");
You can download the zip, check out the fla, and install and modify the
packages if it works for you.

Hey chris,
Thank you very much for your help and time.I have good news about this
program. focusIn and focusOut events worked and now as long as I am not
using onRollOver, onROllOut, onPress, onRelease the program is working
fine. But there is one problem when I use focus in and out..i.e when I
click on the textinput, I am getting the rollover and also could enter
data, but when I come out (focus out)...untill I click somewhere else,
that rollover is getting carried. If that small problem is solved..that
will be a huge conquer for me. I am trying different ways to get it. If
you have time, can you please suggest me some ideas from your side. Once
again thank you very much for your help...here is the code
txt.addEventListener("focusIn",Delegate.create(this,txtOver));
txt.addEventListener("focusOut",Delegate.create(this,txtPress));
private function txtOver(){
tt786 = new
customToolTip(0xE5E5E5,0x022954,0x022954,20,10,15,20);
tt786.showTip("Total sales.");
}
private function txtPress(){
tt786.removeTip();
// TRIED onRollOut also
tx.onKillFocus = function(){
tt786.removeTip();
trace("is it coming out?");
}
}
Thanks,
Subba

wow, ok, I've spent way too much time on this so I have to get back to
work. But here's what my last hour showed me:
txt has no onPress, onRelease, etc.
You cannot determine if the TextField inside a TextInput is rolled over
or out. There are no onRollOver/onRollOut methods to use.
You can determine if the TextInput receives focus(ie is clicked in or
tabbed to) with
txt.addEventListener("focusIn",this);
txt.addEventListener("focusOut",this);
You can consistently determine a way to show the clip by putting an
invisible button above the text field. But this stops the text field
from receiving input, and so you must set _visible=false on the button
after its rolled over. But now we have no way of determining when we've
rolled off the textfield, and so there's no way to turn off the tooltip.
I never realized how broken this whole thing is. But it seems like
TextField (not TextInput) objects don't have any event handling, and
instead whatever behind them will receive onRollOver/Out events. This
makes it really hard to do anything like a tooltip with them.
Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer!

I did change it when using it for the first time...I noticed the
function names are different and changed them so that they are same.
I also tried this
txt.onRollOver = txt.onPress = Delegate.create(this, txtOver);
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = Delegate.create(this,txtPress);
private function txtOver(){
tt = new
customToolTip(0xE5E5E5,0x022954,0x022954,20,10,15,20);
tt.showTip("Total sales.");
}
private function txtPress(){
tt.removeTip();
oldOnPress.apply(txt);
}
I am still having the same problem.

This:
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = Delegate.create(this,txtPress);
Should be this:
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = Delegate.create(this,txtOut);
According to the code given.
See if that works,

Hi Chris,
I tried using Delegate and i am still having the same problem.
I used your code and tried to save the onpress handler,but didn't work
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class test {
private var txt:TextInput;
private var oldOnPress:Function;
private var tt:ToolTip;
private function onLoad(){
oldOnPress = txt.onPress;
txt.onRollOver = Delegate.create(this, txtOver);
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = Delegate.create(this,txtPress);
}
private function txtOver(){

tt.showTip("Total sales.");
}
private function txtOut(){
tt.removeTip();
oldOnPress.apply(txt);
}
}
it is still having the same problem.Am I using the right event?.I am
totally lost and donno y it is not working(I also used TeoToolTip
component and it was giving me the same problem too).can you help me

You're overwriting the onPress event on your text field. You need to
save your old onPress event before overwriting it, and make sure that
it
is called:
class test {
private var txt:TextInput;
private function test() {
}
private function onLoad() {
//save the onPress handler
txt.oldOnPress = txt.onPress;
txt.onRollOver = function() {
tt = new
customToolTip(0xE5E5E5,0x022954,0x022954,20,10,15,20);
tt.showTip("Total sales.");
}
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = function() {
tt.removeTip();
//call the onPress Handler
oldOnPress();
}
I don't think my changes will compile, but I hope you get the idea. I
would suggest using the ascb.util.Proxy or mx.util.Delegate class to
more gracefully handle your handlers. Something like this:
import ascb.util.Proxy;
class test {
private var txt:TextInput;
private var oldOnPress:Function;
private var tt:ToolTip;
private function onLoad(){
oldOnPress = txt.onPress;
txt.onRollOver = Proxy.create(this, txtOver);
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = Proxy.create(this,txtPress);
}
private function txtOver(){
tt = new customToolTip(0xE5E5E5,0x022954,0x022954,20,10,15,20);
tt.showTip("Total sales.");
}
private function txtOut(){
tt.removeTip();
oldOnPress.apply(txt);
}
}
Hope this helps
