I followed your advice Dan and used this code:
public function dragItSubs(event:MouseEvent):void{
// Get the drag initiator component from the event object.
var dragInitiator:UIComponent = event.currentTarget as UIComponent;
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
var target:UIComponent = event.currentTarget as UIComponent;
var dragProxy:Bitmap;
var myBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(target.width, target.height);
myBitmapData.draw(target); // draw target onto bitmap
dragProxy = new Bitmap(myBitmapData);
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Call the DragManager doDrag() method to start the drag.
DragManager.doDrag(dragInitiator, event, dragProxy);
}
But now i get the following error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:Bitmap to an
unrelated type mx.core:IFlexDisplayObject.
on line:
DragManager.doDrag(dragInitiator, event, dragProxy);
Do you maybe know how can i solve this?
thank you
