Adding a tooltip to a specific link/word in a dynamic textfield

Hello there fellow coders,
I’ve been searching around the web for a very long time but I can’t seem to find a good solution for this pickle:
I have a dynamic textfield on AS3 and would like to add a tooltip to some words within the text. I already got the tooltip class, so the problem lies in fact on ‘how to listen to mouse over events on specific texts inside a textfield
I’ve been trying to follow some methods from the livedocs but all I can get so far is a rectangle object of a single character using getCharIndexAtPoint and getCharBoundaries. It works if I just needed to add a tooltip to a single character (since it can detect which character I’m currently pointing at), but I need to search for actual words. It would be nice to have some sort of getMouseAt(text:String) but that doesn’t seem to exist.[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]
