Flex Tooltip Text and Tooltip ComboBox Components

Been a while since a tech-related post so I thought I’d stop by and drop a new one in the box. Recently at work there was a need for tooltip-based text and combobox components for our latest Flex project. Although flex provides some pretty solid tooltip support for Labels, their implementation on other components is a little weak. I took the time to extend the base Flex components to allow Text and ComboBoxes to have some enhanced tooltip support, check out the result below. If people need these I’d be happy to share, just post in the comments.

    How does one set a tooltip to work with simple text? Is there a span method or similar that is used?
