Why not using toolTip property? If it is too simple, you can customize the skin and/or content: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7f3f.html
You could also display the help tip in a Callout, available for desktop apps in SDK 4.10 / 4.11 http://flex.apache.org/asdoc/ then search for spark.components.Callout You can change the callout default style to make it look more like a help bubble.

This code has been in production for a while, but I am wondering if I am doing it the correct way. The way I implemented it was to add an extra component (overlay) that lies (with the depth property set to a large value) on top of all other DisplayObjects and which occupies the whole display port. This branch of the DisplayList serves as the parent to all my notification bubbles, so I have to transform all coordinates of the bubbles (local -> global -> local) to place them at the correct places. This works, but I would have been better if I could place the bubbles directly on top of the buttons without having to add this extra overlay, but since the buttons have been added to parents with a layout managers, it would probably not be possible to size them with absolute coordinates, or am I wrong? What is the correct way to draw components on top of other components without paying regards to layout? Can a child be drawn on top of a parent or is an overlay solution the only feasible way to accomplish this? Best Regards //Jan Flyborg
