   {
    var gr:Graphic = Graphic(event.target);
    textArea.visible=true;
    gr.symbol = mySymbol;
    textArea.htmlText = " <b><font color='#0000FF'>Ward No. " + " #" + gr.attributes.Ward_No.toString()+ "</font></b>" + "\n" + " " + gr.attributes.Ward_Name.toString()+ "\n" + " Bengaluru,Karnataka" ;

I can at least verify what Tanya is seeing as I see it also. The infowindow flickers as you move the cursor slightly in the direction of the infowindow itself. If you move the mouse in any other direction from the graphic, the infowindow will disappear (as expected).

In another situation, I am using a more complex InfoSymbol and it behaves much better. The cursor will flicker if moved slightly in the direction of the infoSymbol, but at least the popup itself will disappear and not flicker.

Could it be related to this issue? What happens when you use the RollOver event instead of the MouseOver event?

Ken,

I was using a PictureMarkerSymbol for the graphic so I thought maybe the ROLLOVER would work after reading the other post.

But it didn't for me. I am using 2.5 API. I even tried changing the symbol for the graphic to a simple marker symbol and still had the same behavior with the infosymbol. It is only when the cursor moves a little over the "tail" of the infowindow. Until this morning, I was using the 2.0 or 2.4 API with the same result.

Thanks for replying,
Carmen
