Re: [Flashcoders] Whats the best tooltip component (actionsciptable)
As an ActionScript programmer, I personally liked this one: http://www.neo-archaic.net/blog/2006/05/09/tooltip.htmSimple and effective: No .mxp, no .fla, no super-complex code to setup, just a single .as file to drop in. Additionally, it seems lots of people are building super-fancy tooltips and somehow simply forgot the basics(!): It must work well and behave as expected. Looking at the source, it sounds like it works with or without the mx components automagically.

Re: [Flashcoders] Whats the best tooltip component
Hi Karina, This has some nice features but some problems viewing the demo. In FireFox it doesn't show at all. In I.E. 6 it doesn't show and I get a Flash required message. I was able to view it only by looking at the source and opening the swf directly. It would be nice if the tooltip width were dependent on the text string. That shouldn't be too hard to add, just draw the background after establishing the textfield.text.width.

Re: [Flashcoders] Whats the best tooltip component
Note: the Firefox issue is a problem in the Demo html page. Not a problem in the tooltip itself of course. About the Width: The width parameter should be named maxwidth. It really does take the size of the text in consideration when computing the width. It simply max it out to the specified size (without being bigger than the whole Stage width).

RE: [Flashcoders] Whats the best tooltip component
Hi Mark, Thanks for letting me know about the Firefox bug, it seems I've overcooked my Satay, and forgot to check it... Don't know why it doesn't show in IE 6, I'm using the ie 7 beta at the moment. It should be fixed now for Firefox. I just had someone with ie6 take a look, and she had no problem seeing the demo, so maybe that's fixed. But I'm using version check (with ObjectSwap) and it's Flash7. Are you sure your IE is updated for Flash?

RE: [Flashcoders] Whats the best tooltip component
Thanks Bernard, I was just about to reply to that. You're right about the parameter naming, but I think it might be too late to do that without breaking backwards compatibility with scripts that already use that. Unless I keep both?

RE: [Flashcoders] Whats the best tooltip component
scripts that already use that. Unless I keep both? ... Or maybe I should increase the default width? It's currently 200, but maybe 300 would be better? It can always be changed programmatically... ___ 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
RE: [Flashcoders] Whats the best tooltip component
Wow, I am sorry -- since reloading my entire computer a month ago, I never updated the Flash player for I.E. I've taken to using FF so neglected that point. I'm sure that was the problem.

RE: [Flashcoders] Whats the best tooltip component (actionsciptab le)
easiest way is to use movieclips or dynamic text - that are either visible
or invisible (or have text or no text) depending on rollover state. i used
to do with the as below, which i ditched over a year ago for the simpler
methods just described.
on (rollOver)
{
mousex = 670;
mousey = 24;
this.createTextField(tooltip_txt, 1, mousex, mousey, 1, 1);
this.tooltip_txt.background = true;
this.tooltip_txt.border = true;
this.tooltip_txt.autoSize = left;
this.tooltip_txt.text = Exit Course;
this.onMouseMove = function()
{
this.tooltip_txt._x = mousex + 15;
this.tooltip_txt._y = mousey + 15;
updateAfterEvent();
}
}
on (rollOut)
{
this.tooltip_txt.removeTextField();
this.onMouseMove = null;
}

Hi there,
I am looking for a great tooltip component and/or script. I have tried
several but they just don't qualify. With one I have font problems, with the
other embed problems and another delay, display / don't display problems
etc. etc.
Is there something else out there??
