Re: [flexcoders] Re: Tree drag & drop: how to get node where item is dropped

Mon, 21 Aug 2006 13:57:30 -0700

I had posted a request to Adobe's wish form, asking that the drop data be made available.  I got a very quick response (within 10 minutes!):

"Yes, we discovered this very soon after shipping that this data should
have been exposed. We have a bug for this already logged internally, so
we will work on fixing it for the future. For now, I think you will have
to rewrite your own updateDropData function, which is unfortunate."

So I'll have to stick with my original plan of duplicating a few methods (as stated in my original post).

I'm glad it's not just me! So, were you able to get something working
for your scenario?

Anyone from the Adobe team want to confirm this and/or offer
alternative solutions?

thanks,
Thunder
