How do you create Map Tips with Flex?

Question

I'd like to have Map Tips display when a user hovers over or clicks on a feature in my Flex Application. Would I do this in the authoring stage or is there code I write into my Flex application???

How is this accomplished?

Thank you All

Searching for "map tip" on Esri's Flex API site yielded these results:

Unlike in the Google api, tooltips are not handled by the API. A good introduction to tooltips in Flex can be found here:

And functions that encapsulate this and can be applied to map features, here:
