dataTips show the full text.
If you need to bake your own, start with itemRollOver event. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kenny14390 Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2008 12:37 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Using the hovered index of a List to define a ToolTip I have a list whose data is variable, so the application must know the index of the item in the list that the user selects. I know clicking on an item will set several of the List's fields, but what about hovering the mouse over that item? I want to use tooltips to display the full version of the abbreviated text in the List. Since the user has not made a selection, I cannot use selectedIndex. How can I detect the index of the item over which the user's cursor is hovering? If a Listener is the only solution, how does it need to be done? I'm not familiar with making Listeners. Thanks!
