Is there a way to remove the drop-shadow from the tooltip? I tried setting the dropShadowEnabled property to false as well as setting the shadowDistance to 0, but neither work.

@Adrian,

These all work for me:

"1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
                creationComplete="init();">
 
    >
        ToolTip {
            backgroundColor: black;
            backgroundAlpha: 1.0;
            cornerRadius: 0;
            color: white;
        }
    >
 
    
        
            private var btn2:Button;
 
            private function init():void {
                btn2 = new Button();
                btn2.label = "AS button w/ AS toolTip";
                btn2.toolTip = "Foo bar 2";
                addChild(btn2);
            }
        ]]>
    
 
     label="Roll over to see tool tip"
               toolTip="The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." />
     id="btn" label="MXML button w/ AS toolTip" creationComplete="btn.toolTip = 'Foo bar';" />

Your example styling doesn’t work if you set tooltips programticaly.
Eg:
myButton.toolTip = “Here is my tooltip”;
How do you use the Styles in this case? Any suggestion?
thanks

@Reny,

There is a Flex Exchange on Adobe.com which may have some free/commercial components: “Adobe – Flex Exchange”. Apart from that, you can try Google.com or ask on the FlexCoders mailing list.

@Reny, You could try one of these and see if they do what you need: "Dynamically styling error tips in Flex" and/or "Changing the background color of an error tip in Flex". Peter

neat stuff. How do I change the position of the tooltip? I’m building some video player controls and I want the tool tip to sit above the main interface elements – pause/play etc. I really can’t find how to do this. Any help would be really appreciated.
