Hey Doug, thanks for the reply
That works great, and I think I found the snag.. itemRollOver doesnt fire
when I move from item to item.. I have to move out of the Tree and back in
and on another item for it to change? Is that why you said that the toolTip
wasnt want I needed?
I tried playing around with the dataField.. I thought that was going to be
the route to go also.. it should be as simple as
dataTipField="@mgrname" showDataTips="true"
right?
That doesnt do anything that I'm aware of. Do you have an example of using
that with a Tree element?
Thanks again, I've been so frustrated with this today..

You may want to look at the dataTipFunction property of Tree instead of
using toolTip, since I don't think toolTip will give you the results you
want. That said, you can use the following to get the tree item under the
mouse:
import mx.events.ListEvent;
public function onItemRollOver(event: ListEvent) : void {
trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
}
<mx:Tree itemRollOver="onItemRollOver(event as ListEvent)" ...
/>
Assuming your XML dataprovider looks similar to the following:
<mx:XMLList id="treeData">
<node label="Mail Box">
<node label="Inbox">
<node label="Marketing"/>
<node label="Product Management"/>
<node label="Personal"/>
</node>
<node label="Outbox">
<node label="Professional"/>
<node label="Personal"/>
</node>
<node label="Spam"/>
<node label="Sent"/>
</node>
</mx:XMLList>
