Tooltip with .SWF inside?

4 New Member
I am wondering if it is possible to have a small .swf (Flash animation) inside a tooltip? Ideally it would start playing when a hotspot is rolled over and the tooltip appears, but it would also be fine if it actually started 'playing' when page loaded then it only became visible when the tooltip is active. Just a small, probably looping .swf.

Anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how I'd go about it? Thank you in advance, I am very grateful for any help.

  • Make a tooltip with a DIV.
  • Set its position as 'absolute'
  • Set its zIndex to (say) 500
  • Get its x-y from the event
  • Set it visible only when required event occurs.
  • Place you required SWF inside it.

But if the SWF had audio, would that stop playing when cursor is moved and tooltip disappears? Or would it carry on?

Thank you.

Ok, well I've sorted it, the SWF works fine, but the audio doesn't stop until another hotspot is rolled over or the same one is rolled over again. I don't know enough js to do that. I'll live with it how it is.

Thanks for your help.

Don't give up!!

Try to remove the SWF from the tooltip on omouseout by setting innerHTML of the tooltip to blank. And when you show it again, again put the SWF inside the tooltip.

Not sure, but it may work.

Is there a way to change the "fadeout" of a tooltip? In other words, it'll display for about 10 seconds which may or may not be long enough for a user to read the tooltip. I'd like to programatically adjust it if possible, and if that's not, I would like to increase the time duration. Anyone know if you can do this? Thanks SC

I have to take this personally now. Tooltips have been flakey since the dawn of .NET, but to still have to put up with a disappearing tooltip in VS 2008 is getting beyond a joke. Tooltips have always done this, so isn't it about time they were fixed? I have a tooltip that I assign to a button control on my form. I hover over the button and up pops the tooltip. I move away and the tooltp fades. I hover again, and back comes the tooltip....
