Ah, that worked (using show). Thanks!

All the x/y values within your tooltip will be relative to the
tooltip itself. Try in your custom tooltip simply setting this.x -=
10; this.y -= 10; on creationComplete or something like that.
Actually creationComplete is probably not the best option, the
tooltip might be re-used by the manager, try SHOW or something,
ADDED_TO_STAGE, perhaps...

Tried that, and it did use my custom component, but the x/y offset
was still the same...
Also dug around in the bowels of the actual draw routines of the
tooltip border class, but couldn't quite figure out what there was
doing the x/y offset...? The drawRoundRect position values are all
between 0 and 4 but actual tooltips (in their default flex state)
usually seem like they're offset by 20 - 30 px....
cheers, ethan
TOOL_TIP_SHOW doesn't bubble, so it's probably not the best way.
I'd say simply subclassing ToolTip and setting
ToolTipManager.toolTipClass will be your best bet.

Example of how to intercept TOOL_TIP_SHOW, please.
Alternately, all I really want to do is change the horizontal and
vertical offset of the ToolTIp from the item it describes. Any
easy, app-wide way to do this?
cheers, ethan
I think you intercept TOOL_TIP_SHOW and give it a different
position. The ToolTipMgr should have placed it already where it
think it should be.
You can set the ToolTipManager.toolTipClass to have all instances
of tooltips be something else, but you should extend ToolTip in
your custom ToolTip.

Subject: [flexcoders] Positioning Custom ToolTips
Greetings -
Per the Flex documentation, I'm using a custom component as a
ToolTip
by intercepting the toolTipCreate event, as describe below:
"In your application, you can create a custom ToolTip by
intercepting
the toolTipCreate event handler of the target component. In the
event
handler, you instantiate the new ToolTip and set its properties. You
then point the toolTipproperty of the ToolTipEvent object to the new
ToolTip."
Unlike using the ToolTip Manager, however, which accepts x,y
positioning arguments, it's unclear how to position the custom
tooltip
invoked using the intercept and custom class approach....
So, this leaves me with two questions:
1. Using a custom class or component created using the incercept
approach, is there a way to position the tip?
or
2. Is there way to use a custom class or component for the tip when
using ToolTip Manager to create them?
Thanks!
