Actually, that was the mystery, because -- of course -- my tooltip text was *not* selectable, but the I-beam cursor showed up like an uninvited guest. Thanks for the tip!
- MM > Is there any reason why you need your tooltip text to be selectable? Selectable text gives you the i-beam cursor when you roll over it, and the i-beam interferes with button events. Try this... myTextField.selectable = false; _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
