You need to change the size of the tooltip in your library to larger one.
I would suggest make it bigger then place the text field in center
of the tool tip and stretch it to cover the whole graphic. The text is
already set to display center so it will nicely fit in. That's the easiest
way if you not too flash savvy.

Other way would be to rebuilt the whole thing and have the tool tip
dynamically size based on the size of the text field. But that's, again,
require to reconstruct your entire file.

modify.  can you point me to the file and is it a text file or one I have to
edit in flash?   thanks so much for the help

Open the FLA file in flash then hit the CTRL L button, it will open the library.
Library is basically list of entire file content. Movie clips , buttons, graphics
etc...
There is one call "ToolTip". Find it, double click it and it will open it its editing
mode. There you can change the size.
Watch out for the dynamic text field (little dashed rectangle) in the middle of the tool
tip graphics, so you accidentally don't remove it :)
