Tool Tip Help?

Question

Hi, Ive made a tool tip (note) that appears when the mouse
passes over a button. at the moment the tooltip appears instantly
when the user rolls the mouse over the button and dissapears when
the mouse rolls out (this is how i want it to work) I also have the
tooltip following the mouse when it moves whilst in the button. The
movement is instant, i wondered if it was possible to have a short
delat between the movement of the mouse and the tooltip, so it
eases in slowly to the movement of the mouse?? below is the code im
using, any help would be wicked. Thanks for any help Ad.

tooltip._visible = false;

var tipInt;

b1.onRollOver = function() {
 tipInt = setInterval(showTip,100,"Button 1");
}

b1.onRollOut = function() {
 hideTip();

}

var count = 0;

function hideTip() {
 clearInterval(tipInt);
 tooltip._visible = false;
 delete _root.onMouseMove;
}

Yeah, change your onMouseMove to this:_root.onEnterFrame = function() {var speed = 5;tooltip._x += (_root._xmouse-tooltip._x)/speed;tooltip._y += (_root._ymouse-tooltip._y)/speed;};

Thanks but i wanted the movement of the tooltip movie clip to ease gently if the mouse is moved within the button. At the moment it follows the mouse when you rollover the button but i wanted to get a smoother movement. I have found this code which when applied to a movie clip creates the desired movement

onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
speed = 5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
endX = _root._xmouse;
endY = _root._ymouse;
_x += (endX-_x)/speed;
_y += (endY-_y)/speed;
}
is there any way to add this into the code i had before to get the movement of the tooltip movieclip smoother when the mouse is moved??

Any help would be amazing. Thanks Ad!!
