After you have successfully downloaded the Tooltip (Flex) Component, follow these steps to install it for Adobe Flex Builder.

1. Unzip the files. We always put components in a "Components" folder in our Flex Builder project directory.
   
2. Create a new Flex Project in Adobe Flex Builder. (You can choose any project name and data access method.)
3. Open the properties panel for this new project by right clicking and selecting "properties." On the properties panel, click on the "Flex Build Path" link, and then the "Library Path" tab.
   
4. Click on "Add SWC" and browse to Tooltip_Flex.swc.
   
5. The Tooltip will show up in the "Library Path" panel. You can edit or remove it from here at any time.
   
6. The Tooltip should now be available in your components panel in the "Custom" folder when you are in Design Mode for an MXML file or in the com.afcomponents.Tooltip package for ActionScript.
   

Note: If you want to use the afcomponents namespace to keep your components organized, add the following in your MXML root tag:
