Class ToolTip

class ToolTip
extends mx.core.UIComponent

The ToolTip control lets you provide helpful information to your users. When a user moves their mouse over a graphical component, the ToolTip control pops up and displays text that provides information about the component. You can use tool tips to guide users as they work with your application or customize the tool tips to provide additional functionality.
