Hey Andy! You are a life saver. Is there any drawback to this approach, before I start using it in a production environment? I mean if I had created a basic ActionScript project then I would have gotten a class that would be derived from Sprite, and I know how to deal with it.

Deb,

The Flex 3 approach is quite different. Too different to get into detail here. Have a close look at the component architecture of Halo (Flex 3). The lifecycle is quite different, take a look at createChildren and updateDisplayList.
That’s where you could use some of the code here.

How could I do when use your nice tooltip?

Thanks!

Mark,

Make the background rect in the skin transparent (set alpha property). You might want to remove the drop shadow, so that it does not mess with transparency.
