See the discussion above with Todd and Kevin.

In my application, the tooltip’s title and text should be displayed dynamicly. From example, there is button which label will be often changed by user. And its tooltip will always display the latest label string.

How could I do when use your nice tooltip?

Thanks!

I’ve incorporated your wonderful Nicer Tooltips into an AIR project I’m working on.

Is there a way to restrict the tooltip to the stage? (it is occasionally popping up partially off-stage )

thanks,

Mark

This answer took a while, sorry;-)

There’s no reason to use the DownlaodProgressbar instead of the SparkDownloadProgressBar. I simply didn’t pay much attention, since the only purpose of extending the Progressbar is to inject the custom ToolTipManagerImpl. Thanks for pointing this out!

Here’s a quick demo implementation of the aforementioned approaches.

get the fxp here.

Look at NiceToolTipManagerImpl Line #275 and #209 for the code that looks up the text.

Look at TextInputWithOverridenDynamicToolTipText for an example that uses the OOP-Approach.

hope this helps

First note that standard Flex tooltips can be customized and if using the Flex ToolTipManager the value in the tooltip property is interpreted as the string to display in the tooltip. You can set this string any time at runtime - based on your data.

This example uses a custom ToolTipManager to look up title, text, styles etc. in resource bundles. For this, the value in the tooltip property is interpreted as a key to look up the text etc. in the bundles.

In assignResourcesToToolTip() of NiceToolTipManagerImpl you could change the way of how the values are looked up and assigned to the tooltip.

For instance you could introduce further tokens for the value in the tooltip property and parse these tokens as parameters to get a parametrized text from the resource bundle

• Bundle.Key#dynamic text
• parse #tokens to use as params in resource bundle lookup
• var toolTipText:String = ResourceManager.getInstance().getString(bundleKey, lookupKey + “.text”, params);

For a more OOP approach you could introduce some interface like IToolTipTextOverride that has a get / set toolTipOverride():String function.

Let your components implement this interface (returning a string based on your data) and in NiceToolTipManagerImpl check to see if the currentTarget (the component the tooltip should be shown on) is of type IToolTipTextOverride.

If true get the text from the toolTipOverride property of the currentTarget instead of looking it up from the resource bundle and assign this text to the tooltip text.

Is there a way to pass in dynamic text based off the object that the tool tip is called on? I would like to use some of the data to seed part of the text.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
