[flexcoders] getDropParent() when the branch is closed.

[Jeff Krueger]

All,               I am trying to drag an item from a grid and drop it on a tree control.  I have found that the getDropParent seems to be the best bet when trying to find where to add a new child node to.  The only problem I am having is if the user chooses to drop the item on a branch that is currently closed, the getDropParent() call returns one level higher.  If the branch is set to open even with no children nodes then everything works.  I can kind of understand why it works like this, but is there a way to work around this.  Below is my dragDrop method, pretty much what everyone else has posted.  I could expand all branches when the drag begins but that could be ugly.     public function doDragDrop(event:Object)             {                       doDragExit( event);                         var dragItems = event.dragSource.dataForFormat( "items" );                         var targetForDrop = tree.getDropParent();                         for ( var i = 0; i <dragItems.length; i++)                         {                                     targetForDrop.addTreeNode("test",dragItems[i]);                                     tree.setIsOpen(targetForDrop, true);                                     tree.selectItem(targetForDrop, true); } }   Thanks       Jeff   -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
