I honestly honestly don't get why I'm having problems positioning this thing;
I can set the alpha but can NEVER set the position -- in this example I'm
trying to set it to 0,0 (and then moving it to -100,-100) just to see SOMETHING
happen - but it never does:
Just so you understand as well - I created my own event so that I could get a
proper bubble up from an itemrenderer in a list - (ie a slideshow thumbnail).
I want to pop over a larger image of this slideshow (hence the class
SlidePreviewPopup) - and am passing the original toolTipEvent along.
var spp:SlidePreviewPopup = new SlidePreviewPopup();
spp.image.source = event.item.thumbnail;
var pt:Point = new
Point(event.toolTipEvent.currentTarget.x, event.toolTipEvent.currentTarget.y);
var npt:Point =
event.toolTipEvent.currentTarget.contentToGlobal(pt);
spp.x = 0; spp.y= 0;
spp.alpha = .5;
event.toolTipEvent.toolTip = spp;
trace(spp.x + ' ' + spp.y);
spp.move(-100,-100);
trace(spp.x + ' '+ spp.y);
I'm starting to think that perhaps I *should* do a popup rather than a
tooltip...wondering if that will be able to be positioned - but why can't I,
for the sake of argument GET this damn tooltip to position?
