Simple ToolTip Class based off Lee Brimelow’s?Ǭ†http://theflashblog.com/?p=16?Ǭ†old ToolTip class.

I extended this as an exercise when helping out a poster on the?Ǭ†Kirupa.com?Ǭ†forums. I’ve added in support for a dropShadow beneath the tooltip. Support for different amounts of text ( the toolTip is still single lined, but it expands depending on text amount). And support for detecting the edge of the stage, so that the toolTip will flip horizontally if it would end up being displayed off the right hand edge of the stage, thus becoming unusable.
