In my project, I found it easiest to fake the tooltip. I have a dataGrid that acts as an Instant Messenger contact list. It displays a small picture, the name, online status plus a few icons that allow for invites and email distribution. I needed a tooltip that could give a larger picture, their full name, join date, rank, etc. I created a small canvas and arranged the information as I wanted it to appear and set the colors as close as I could to what a normal tooltip looked like then added listeners to show the canvas and move it to a position relative to the mouse cursor and to hide the canvas on mouseout.

The answer to the opening question is that the best approach is to create an actionscript skin, and then usually reference that in a css file.
