I've always had alot of success adding my draggable Elements to a parent <g> with pointer-events="all". Place the mousemove listener on the containing <g>. If you capture the point in mousedown (p1), you can use p1 and the mousemove point (p2, likely transformed to the correct coord system) to determine the appropriate transform to apply (AffineTransform.getTranslateInstace(p2.x - p1.x, p2.y - p1.y)).
I'd caution you against trying to use absolute x,y attribute sets as this approach is not feasible in complex implementations. (Just in case your on that path...) I can likely provide an example in short order if you want a spoiler On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 11:05 AM, shootist <[email protected]> wrote: > > I tried finding a post here with a similar issue but had no luck.
