Here is a working sample for you! ======================================================== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" xmlns="*" mouseMove="doMouseMove()"> <mx:Script>     <![CDATA[         private var bIsDown:Boolean = false;        private var lastX:Number;        private var lastY:Number;        private function doMouseDown() {            bIsDown = true;            lastX = mouseX;            lastY = mouseY;        }        private function doMouseUp() {             bIsDown = false;        }        private function doMouseMove() {            if (bIsDown) {                var deltaX:Number = mouseX - lastX;                var deltaY:Number = mouseY - lastY;                selector.x += deltaX;                selector.y += deltaY;                lastX = mouseX;                lastY = mouseY;            }        }     ]]> </mx:Script>         <mx:Box id="selector" width="200" height="200" backgroundColor="#FFCC00" mouseDown="doMouseDown()" mouseUp="doMouseUp()">         <mx:Text text="{selector.x}" />         <mx:Text text="{selector.y}" />     </mx:Box> </mx:Application> ======================================================== Just change the xmlns if u want to use Flex 1.5!

It can get tricky if you are using any other container such as HBox, Form etc. Brian McPheeters wrote: I am trying to figure out the drag/drop controls so I can let the user move the Box control or something similiar around a container. I have the drag/drop portions working but I am unable to figure out the correct coordinates to give to the Box.move() method. I guess what I am looking for is the top left of where the Box was dragged to. Any suggestions on how to go about doing this? I have seen similar messages about this but the links they reference are now dead http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders@yahoogroups.com/msg03724.html.   Thanks Brian -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
