I have a stack that does that, but it doesn't use behaviors. I just put 
this into the card:

on mouseEnter
   put the cTip of the target into tTip
   if tTip <> "" then
     set the htmltext of fld "helptext" to tTip
   end if
   pass mouseEnter
end mouseEnter

on mouseLeave
   put "" into fld "helptext" -- or hide the fld
   pass mouseLeave
end mouseLeave

Only those objects that have a cTip property will do anything. I just 
add help text to anything that needs it. I don't think I'd use 
"mouseWithin", it will trigger repeatedly.
