dataTipFunction should be the answer, but I don't get what you are doing in the loop. Can you give more detail of what you are trying to accomplish?

On a datagrid, I'd like to display more information about the item the user is hovering over in a tooltip, but I want to get this information (a fair bit) dynamically based on a case number/id from the datagrid item that is being hovered over. The best way I can think of is to do a loop in the dataTipFunction: public function myDataTipFunction(e:HitData):String { while(httpService.lastResult == null){} //return tooltip based on result. } Surely there is a better way. Thanks everyone. Nice to meet you all. :) James Wilson
