adding tooltip to image

[ljonny18]

Hi I am imbedding an image within a component the following way:


[Embed(source='../images/myImage.png')]
public var myImageClass:Class;

public var myImageImg:Bitmap;

myImageImg = new myImageClass ();
myImageImg.x = 10;
myImageImg.y = 10;

addChild(myImageImg);


Which seems to work fine!!! Now I simply add a tool tip to this image and I am not sure how to go about it from this angle.


Could someone please help and point me in the right direction???

Thanks,
Jon.

Tooltips are implemented in the Flex framework, but Bitmaps are built into the Flash player and thus tooltips are not available. I used an Image component instead of a Bitmap which is a Flex component here:


import mx.controls.Image;

[Embed(source='../images/myImage.png')]
public var myImageClass:Class;

public var myImageImg:Image;

private function onCreationComplete
()
:void
{
myImageImg = new Image();
myImageImg.source = myImageClass;
myImageImg.x = 10;
myImageImg.y = 10;
myImageImg.toolTip = "myImage.png";

addChild( myImageImg );

} // onCreationComplete
