I am using the HTML5 Canvas. I have added images (BitmapImages) to the canvas and I now want to add simple tooltips to these bitmap images.
Is this possible ??? If so can someone tell / show me how I could achieve this ?
I am not sure if it makes a difference , but I am also using the Easel JS Framework ...
Here is an example of what I currently have:
var container = new Container(); // EaselJS Container
container.x = 100;
container.y = 100;
stage.addChild(container);
var image = new Image();
image.src = "image.png";
var bitmap = new Bitmap(image);
bitmap.x = 5;
bitmap.y = 5;
bitmap.mouseEnabled = true;
container.addChild(bitmap);
...
I have not tested this code, but basically a bitmap image is created and added to my stage. I now want to add a simple tool tip to my bitmap image, but cant seem to work out how :(
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Jon.
Here's how I would do it:
stage.enableMouseOver();
bitmap.onMouseOver = function(e) {
stage.canvas.title = 'put your tooltip text here';
}
bitmap.onMouseOut = function(e) {
stage.canvas.title = '';
}
This works by using tooltips already provided by the browser.
