Tool Tips provide visual cues for buttons in SlideShowPro's Navigation as well as the Content Area.
By default, tool tips display when a user's mouse pointer hovers for a half-second over buttons in SlideShowPro's Navigation. You can change the half-second delay through the TOOLTIPS/Delay Navigation parameter, or remove tool tips entirely with the TOOLTIPS/Appearance Navigation parameter (set it to "Hidden").
As for the Content Area, tool tips do not display by default. To display them, set TOOLTIPS/Appearance Content Area to "Visible" or "Action Area Hidden". When set to "Visible," tool tips display on rollover in both the action and navigation areas (see Content Area for more information). When set to "Action Area Hidden", the tool tip that normally would appear over the action area is not shown.
Content Area tool tips display without delay and remain visible until the mouse leaves the area. To change the delay, modify TOOLTIPS/Delay Navigation. You can also make the tool tips disappear before the mouse leaves the area through the TOOLTIPS/Timeout Content Area which is set to 0 seconds by default (no timeout).
All tool tips share the same style. Modify TOOLTIPS/Color to change their background color, TOOLTIPS/Text Color to change the color of the textual labels, and TOOLTIPS/Text Size to alter the textual labels point size.
The text that appears inside tool tips is populated automatically in English. You may change (using ActionScript) the labels through SlideShowPro's toolLabels array. The array looks like this by default:
toolLabels:Array=[ "Gallery", "Previous Group", "Previous", "Next", "Next Group", "Pause", "Play", "Full Screen", "Normal Screen", "Open Link", "Open Gallery" ];
To modify any or all of the labels, simply count up (starting at 0) to the label you wish to change, then assign it to an instance of SlideShowPro like so:
my_ssp.toolLabels[9]="Click here to do something.";
This changes the last label (which appears over the "action" area in the Content Area).
