Did you add any CSS? If you want to style the custom NiceToolTip then you need something like ah|NiceToolTip (Assuming you use the namespace ah) @Sam

As for Images it is the default behaviour for resource bundles. Flex does not know the class at compile-time. You can try to explicitly embedd the images elsewhere in the application and see if caching does the job. 2. You might want to change the NiceToolTipManagerImpl and pass a default locale for the properties that are identical accross locales. Flex might do this for you via the locale chain anyway. @Linda

Do you happen to know why that might be? I tend to get the warning:

I have it working right now and it is working beautifully. Absolutely love it. Two more questions though. 1. Images within the tooltips take a bit to appear and I am under the impression that embedding the needed assets could probably help the issue. But how to embed an images such as the one that you specify in the "Tooltip and Image" example? 2. Do you have any idea how to deal with more than one language? I would really like to avoid any redundancy such as having many different tooltip.properties files with different title and text information but identical color, placement and other layout details. Again. Thank you very much. Best wishes and kind regards, Linda Hi Andy,

You need to tell the Flex Compiler where to find the resource bundles. Go to Project Properties, then Flex Compiler and put this under additional compiler arguments: -locale en_US -source-path=/locale/ This tells the compiler to lookup the resources for en_US under the path /locale/. Obviousliy ToolTipBundle.properties must be there. At compile time it is embedded via the application (alternatively you could load rb at runtime). hth andy Linda
