Hi Axel, I think it can not be done. Tooltip is an ordinary function, its arguments are evaluated before beeing fed to Tooltips. Further, if you play a sound (e,g, using Emit) nothing (Null) is returned. Therefore, obj2 must not be evaluated during evaluation of Tooltip, but only later when the Tooltip is used. I do not see how this could be achieved. Daniel axel wrote: > Hello, > > I have found that Tooltip[obj1, obj2] evaluates obj2 upon a mouseover > event on obj1.
