Getting closer now. If I put the following script in the source list field the correct text is sent in the drag. on mouseDown set the dragData["text"] to the selectedText end mouseDown
Target field script hilites the correct line in the list on dragMove set the hilitedLines of me to (word 2 of the mouseLine) end dragMove However, if I also put this script in the target field script nothing happens: on dragDrop put the dragData["text"] pass dragDrop end dragDrop What I need is the dragged text and the target field line. I believe I can only get that from the target field not the source field but I can't figure out how.
