I would think you could hide the dragInitiator when you call dotDrag and show it when you get a dragComplete event.
The dragImage you hand to doDrag can be a Canvas with the multiple items positioned appropriately. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joshuagatcke Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2007 7:45 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Drag Multiple items with the dragManager Does anyone know how I can send multiple items to dragManager.doDrag()? I am not using a list based control/container, and I have manually added drag and drop support to the items I want to drag/drop to. I want to select multiple items then send an array of those items to the dragManager to drag multiple items at once. I am also trying to figure out how to hide the dragInitiator item while i am dragging the item so it looks like the item is being dragged live, not a copy of the item. I am using a copy of the dragInitiators Bitmap data for the dragProxy, I also tried to use the dragInitiator as the dragProxy, but cannot find a way to get the item to re-appear after a drop. I tried setting the visibility of the dragInitiator to false when the mouseMove event fires, then returning it back to visible = true when the item is dropped, but this seems flaky at best. To sum it up, I just want it to look like I am dragging an item or multiple items across the screen. I cannot resort to using the simple start/end drag() methods and mouse events because these items will also be able to be dropped on drop targets. The drag Manager seems awesome, I just wish I knew how to take advantage of it a bit more. I have read all the documentation several times and still do not know how to do these things. I tried looking at the list based controls to see how they drag multiple items etc, to no avail. Thanks in advance for any tips/advice/help.
