Showtooltip issue

I have the following macro with a "?" icon. The tooltip shows the proper mount icon(s) when I'm not mounted but when mounted, it shows the "?". Is there a way to specify the icon to use when mounted but maintain the current behavior when not mounted?

Code:
#showtooltip
/cast [nomounted,flyable,nomod] Red Flying Cloud; 
[nomounted,mod:shift] [nomounted,noflyable,nomod:ctrl] Blue Shado-Pan Riding Tiger; [nomounted,mod:ctrl] Azure Water Strider; 
[nomounted,mod:alt] Abyssal Seahorse;
/dismount [mounted]

Sure. #show and #showtooltip take conditionals.

I tried using conditionals but was not successful. In the macro I posted, how would you add conditionals so that a unique icon is displayed when mounted and the icon(s) from each mount is displayed when not mounted as you cycle through the modifiers?

I honestly don't use /dismount and trying to duplicate your conditionals on the #showtooltip line is likely to make you exceed the maximum length of a macro.

Here's a 141 character version. I'd like to see something other than "?" when I'm mounted.

Code:
#showtooltip
/cast [nomounted,nomod] Ebon Gryphon; [nomounted,mod:shift] Pinto; [nomounted,mod:ctrl] Azure Water Strider;
/dismount [mounted]

Code:
#showtooltip [mod:shift]Pinto;[mod:ctrl]Azure Water Strider;Ebon Gryphon
/use [mounted];[mod:shift]Pinto;[mod:ctrl]Azure Water Strider;Ebon Gryphon
/dismount [mounted]
You can also have your original features with this addon

you don't need to include Abyssal Seahorse on it

Banknorris, I do appreciate you taking the time to provide a solution. SDPhantom was right, 255 characters isn't enough for a reasonable set of mounts using my approach. However...

Thanks for the pointer! That appears to be the "macro" I was looking for! Only have to enter the mount names once and it even has a nice icon for random favorite mounts.

I use http://www.wowinterface.com/download...ompanions.html and love it. I use with Opie to not take up actionbar space. It supports using macros.
