RE: [flexcoders] URGENT: drag and drop problem!

[Matt Chotin]

I’ve posted before that the DragManager does not seem to do very well with loaded applications.  You may want to try to get the DragManager to start doing something (anything) from the main application before attempting the drag and drop in the loaded one.   I don’t know quite what you’d do, I haven’t played around with it.   Matt   From: Alessio Prosperi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 25, 2005 12:21 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] URGENT: drag and drop problem!   I still haven't found a solution to the problem described below.   Could you please help me and send me some suggestion?   Thanks Alessio         ----- Original Message ----- From: Alessio Prosperi To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2005 10:25 AM Subject: [flexcoders] drag and drop problem!   Hi to everyone, I developed a e-commerce solution based on drag'n'drop. I split the main application in small sub-applications so I can load every section only if it's necessary.   I load every section in a Loader object inside a Panel (as in Flex samples - drag'n'drop).   I have a component (in the loaded application) that starts the drag operation.   The problem is: the drag doesn't start when Flex fires mouseDown event (I have a component inside the application loaded in the Loader). Why should I change the mouseDown event in mouseMove event (otherwise the drag doesn't start)?     example:   main.mxml   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml">  <mx:Panel title="Start drag from here" width="200" height="200">   <mx:Loader contentPath="drag.mxml.swf" scaleContent="false" width="100%" height="100%" />  </mx:Panel>  <mx:Panel title="Drop here" width="200" height="200">   </mx:Panel> </mx:Application>       drag.mxml   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml">  <mx:Script>  <![CDATA[    function beginDrag() {             var ds = new mx.core.DragSource();             ds.addData({name: "test"}, "product");             mx.managers.DragManager.doDrag(this, ds, drag, {mxml: true});         }   ]]>  </mx:Script>  <mx:Image source="@Embed('images/ups.jpg')" scaleContent="false" mouseDown="beginDrag()" /> </mx:Application>   If I run drag.mxml the drag starts correctly. If I run main.mxml the drag doesn't start: I must use mouseMove instead of mouseDown event. Is this a Flex bug? However, even using mouseMove event, the dragged object doesn't exit from the Panel. How can I resolve this situation? If I run the Flex example of drag and drop, the object can move outside its application limits only if the scrollbars are missing. Don't you find it strange? Anyway I don't have scrollbars so this is not my problem I only liked to tell you. I need help as soon as possible!   Alessio Prosperi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Adacto - anima digitale ------------------------------------------ Adacto s.r.l.
