Well after trying to write a quick example now I'm not so sure. The document I linked to earlier has this statement:
"A control must define a handler for a dragEnter event to be a drop target." That leads me to believe every other container in the application would have to add a dragEnter handler in order for your "drag anywhere" to be implemented. Each container has to explicitly accept the drop with DragManager.acceptDragDrop() On Sun, Apr 6, 2008 at 9:08 AM, Daniel Gold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I would think you'd have to write completely custom drag functions that > listen for mouse down on your component, and then on mouse move keep > listening for the target to not be your container, as soon as it isn't, > accept the DragDrop and start listening for mouse up to handle the removal. > > I keep this doc handy for anytime I get into custom drag situations: > http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/pdf/dragdrop.pdf > > > > On Sat, Apr 5, 2008 at 11:38 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Thanks.
