Tooltips. They pop up to provide contextual expansion. They enhance your workspace. They gratify you with sleek utility. They're an integral Flex component. You will probably be customizing them.
Flex Docs is a good starter on custom and standard tooltips:

Adobe docs are not so great when it comes to positioning custom tooltips, but fear not, it's simple once you know how :).
Just be sure to utilize both the toolTipCreate AND toolTipShow methods of the mx.events.ToolTipEvent class and you'll be golden.
Another plus, tooltips are a great use of MVC and you can encapsulate calls to events via event.toolTip.
Another good tutorial resource:

Happy tooltipping.
