Free ActionScript

There is one small problem which I notice, if you click and drag, the box stays on the cursor.

Thanks Stapled, I updated the fla with a fix.

Sweet, thanks

I got a question… How do you make the boxes a link to another scene without the tooltip from the original box appear

Hi gotbitey,

You can call the hideTooltip() function to hide the tooltip, before you use gotoAndStop to go to a different scene.

Thanks for sharing this script. I’ve been able to adapt it on a movie I’m working on and it works well. However, I’m using attachMovie from a main .fla to bring this second movie in and I’m not sure how I should adapt the script so that it works from a different _root. I’ve tried this and _parent but neither worked.

Don’t worry about my previous comment. I don’t think I’ve changed the script at all but today it’s working fine. Thanks you.

Glad to hear that marion

Hello,

the dynamic Tooltip (DT) is great and very useful for many applications. As a newbie, I start learning flash using AS3. I would like to work on the DT to treat it as a class or package. Any hint, advise or link to help me accomplish this task will be extremely appreciated.

I thank you in advance for your help.

jameldj,

It shouldn’t be too hard to convert this to AS3. Just use addChild instead of attachMovie to show/hide the tooltip.

Hey, thanks alot for providing these.

One question, I’ve never really done it but how important is it to do this:

delete tootip_mc.onEnterFrame;
removeMovieClip(tooltip_mc);

Instead of just doing this:

removeMovieClip(tooltip_mc);

Cheers.

Hi JFlash,
I believe that doing just removeMovieClip(tooltip_mc) would remove the onEnterFrame as well.
