Context sensitive help for my Flex application

[rattleheadmegafan]

Hi all,

I am trying to implement context sensitive help for my web application. Is there any feature in Flex that will help me do it or any 3rd party applications? Please let me know.

TIA!

Hi,

Nothing in Flex 3, or up and coming in Flex 4 that deals with this for you - that I know of; all the composite elements are there though.

Do not know of any third party classes/components etc. that have been made on this. Be interested to know what you decide to do.

Peter,

What i've ended up doing was I added images alongside the fields which needed context sensitive help. I have a Help toggle button on click will either display or hide the images. On clicking the toggle button, i'm displaying images and on click, the tooltip. This is not the best way to do it and I didn't know how else to do this but so far looked like the only possible implementation.

Hello,

Yeah, from the examples I have seen, its very much variations on your approach for now.
