whats the easiest way to code tooltip methods to my different classes I currently have working.  
for example  
mylabel.setTooltip(“text to show”,true);  
mylabel.removeTooltip();

so that any event anywhere could call a tooltip. The tooltip follows your mouse  
movement basically.

If the method was called from an MC and the second parameter which is a  
boolean is set to true:

mylabel.setTooltip(“text to show”,true);

Then the tooltip would only show while the mouse was over that label, componet or MC. If it  
moved away it would automatically fire the event to remove it.

Due to the urgency of this help im willing to pay a small fee for anyone who can write a quick tooltip .as that does just that.
