disable tooltip for points that have a flag - highcharts

Question

I'm trying to create a highstock chart which has some of the points flagged with a circle. All the points in the chart have a tooltip as you hover over the chart.
However the tooltip for the points that have a flag should be one from the flag. I've been trying to see if highstock has an API through which I can say whether tooltip should be displayed on not based on the condition that the point has a flag or not. However, I'm stuck on how to find if a point has a flag or not.
Here a fiddle of my example : http://jsfiddle.net/ulhas87/WSDza/
{
rangeSelector: {
selected: 1
},
title: {
text: 'USDtoEURexchangerate'
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Exchangerate'
}
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function(){
console.log(this);
if(this.point){
//if this point has a flag then return false
//else return the tooltip for this point
return this.y;
}else{
//this is a flag - hence return the flag tooltip
return this.y;
}
},
},
series: [
{
name: 'USDtoEUR',
data: data,
id: 'dataseries',
tooltip: {
valueDecimals: 4
},
followPointer: false
},
{
type: 'flags',
data: [
{
x: Date.UTC(2011,
1,
14),
title: '',
text: 'Shape: "circle"'
},
{
x: Date.UTC(2011,
3,
28),
title: '',
text: 'Shape: "circle"'
}
],
onSeries: 'dataseries',
shape: 'circle',
width: 1,
height: 1,
y: -4,
states: {
hover: {
fillColor: '#395C84'//darker
}
},
point: {
events: {
mouseOver: function(){
console.log(this);
}
}
},
zIndex: 10
},
{
type: 'flags',
data: [
{
x: Date.UTC(2011,
2,
10),
title: 'C',
text: 'Shape: "flag"'
},
{
x: Date.UTC(2011,
3,
11),
title: 'C',
text: 'Shape: "flag"'
}
],
color: '#5F86B3',
fillColor: '#5F86B3',
onSeries: 'dataseries',
width: 16,
style: {
//textstylecolor: 'white'
},
states: {
hover: {
fillColor: '#395C84'//darker
}
},
marker: {
fillColor: '#000000'
}
}
]
}
Appreciate any help. Thanks

The problem is that your cherries are not the same as you are using for a flags. See updated version: http://jsfiddle.net/WSDza/3/
Also, I advice to set lower hideDelay to observer that point doesn't have tooltip.
