I know this was asked before on one of those 500000000 posts.
Are tooltips that follow the mouse around a particular object like you see on your windows GUI simple
onRollOver{
startDrag(_root.mc);
gotoAndPlay("show");
}

onRollOut{
stopDrag(_root.mc);
gotoAndStop("hide");
}


dont seem to work for me.

how about
...

on(rollover){
startDrag(_root.mc);
_root.mc.gotoAndStop("show");
}

...

this is assuming the button is in a movie clip which you want to have a tooltip appear on a rollover (not in the tooltip movie itself).

btw, stopDrag(); doesn't require any parameters. you can only drag one movie at a time, so it just stops whatever you're dragging.

does this help?
