Air 2.7 Drag and Drop

Hi I've had this posted under the "problems and bugs" section for a while, but nobody has answered as yet. Maybe its better posted here.
I have an HTML/Javascript application that provides HTML5 based drag and drop for files from the desktop. This works perfectly in the browser and also tried it using Appcelerator Titanium and it also works.
However if I package the app using Air the drag and drop feature does not work!
Does Air support this?
From what I've read Air 2.7 should be much more HTML5 compliant.
Seems that I might need to disable AIR's default D&D behaviour?
Best Regards,
Carl

This happened to me too on various occasions, since v1.5.
Only known solution for me is backing up and deleting the \SQL Developer\systemXXX directory under the (hidden) Application Data of your Windows user profile, to revert to factory defaults. You can try to migrate settings from the backed up folder when being asked to (on first start).
Hope that helps,
K.

Really simple drag and drop example?

I have just began exploring Adobe AIR and have succesfully
managed to load images into an image component, through drag and
drop from the desktop.
Now I am trying to understand how to do the reverse —
how to drag from the image component to the desktop, but after
spending several hours googling I still haven't found an example
that show how to achieve this. Either the samples are outdated,
from the beta period, or to complicated for me to understand.
Could someone please help me by showing how it is done, in
the simplest possible way?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You could let Christophe's excellent components do the heavy
lifting for you:

Or here's a good simple app with code that shows you how it's
done:

Can shared actions reset with drag and drop?

I'm currently creating an interactive module where the learner will need to drag and drop grey squares to the correct area on the screen. If you see my picture below, I have a possible 20 grey squares needing to be dragged and dropped for each terminal that's on the lower right of the screen capture. I've created a shared action that shows different wires moving for each of the 20 grey squares moving from the upper image to the lower right image of the screen. This is painstakingly time consuming, but worth the effect. The problem I have stems from the drag and drop's "reset" button. The "reset" button helps set the grey squares that are my drag sources to their original positions, but it does not reset the shared actions that correspond to the movement of each grey square. Is there any way I can reset not only the drag sources, but also the shared actions associated with the drag sources? Any help is truly appreciated.

Can this be done with Drag and Drop?

I have a tile list with jpeg thumbnails of illustrator files.
When clicked they are downloaded and opened.
Is it possible for me to implement a situation where the user can drag the jpeg to adobe illustrator, and the file will download and open.
Basically the same operations as clicking on the image.
Any help is appreciated

[Problem]
* Flash Builder 4.5.1(updater) or Flash Builder 4.6
- If you have installed on pc, does not work adobe air drag and drop
[Solution]
1. Reinstalling the Windows 7 (32bit).
2. Install Flash Builder 4.5.
3. Flash Builder 4.5.1 updater and Flash Builder 4.6 does not install.
   (Instead of using Flex SDK 4.6 is set up)
In addition, Windows7 64bit environment does not work drag and drop.
Is there another solution?

Drag and drop file into Outlook from AIR application

I am hoping to see if this would be possible with the Adobe AIR API. We currently have a desktop AIR application that clients install in order to facilitate certain operations triggered via a web application (such as opening files directly from the web).
One of the actions we are requested to support is the ability to drag and drop files from our web application directly into Outlook and have the file added as an attachment. I saw the documentation at Adobe Flash Platform * Dropping file promises and was wondering if this might be a possibility, or if there was some other method of performing this.
We are trying to get around the fact that users now have to download a document to their desktop before being able to attach in Outlook.
Thanks for any assistance.

You just aren't calling the right NativeDragManager functions. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7d83.html

Air mobile best way to implement drag and drop

Hi all,
I'm developing an application which allows people to drag and drop certain panels.
But the dragmanager isn't optimized for the air mobile platform.
What is the best way to implement drag and drop at the moment?
Write it all yourself or are their some utility classes that can help?

AIR JavaScript - Drag and drop to OS

I searched here for an example of how to drag-and-drop from
the AIR application to the OS
with JavaScript, not Flex or Flash. I only need to know
where the element has been dropped in order to start a download.
I only found an example for Flex. I read that you have to use
the clipboard but I didn't understand how to use it.
Does anyone have a simple example of that ?
If a tech from Adobe reads that, you should add this to your
documentation. ;)
Thanks.

Sounds you are looking for this documentation:

Air drag and drop

I've found various info regarding dragging and dropping into air applications. But what about dragging files out?
For example if i made a simple file browser, could i drag files into other programs, e.g illustrator?

Nevermind, you can't use DragManager at all in AIR it seems if you leave a window. You have to directly use the NativeDragManager.
Strange because it seems like the DragManager singleton manages that for you -- but it doesn't.

Update 2, if it can help someone:
Finally I don't manage the drag and drop by myself using
DragManager.doDrag(...). Why? Because doing so if the user clicks
on the scrollbars, on the datagrid header or on an empty row, it
triggers the drag start and that is ugly. By letting Flex managing
the drag and drop process, this doesn't append. BUT I was unable to
use a custom proxy image then. Until I found this article:
http://www.dgrigg.com/post.cfm/11/03/2006/DataGrid-Drag-Image
The trick is:
1) save the mouseX and mouseY using the mousedown event.
2) override dragImage(), as the article says, to create your
custom proxy, attaching to it a FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE event,
saving it to a class variable and returning it.
3) When you receive the FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE event, you
update the proxy position (that is saved in a class variable) using
the saved mouseX and mouseY and you remove the listener to the
event:
When you drop the proxy, you access the dragged items in :
event.dragSource.dataForFormat("items")
Hope this helps, I spent lot of time trying to resolve this
issue! Now it works perfectly! :-)

Problem with drag and drop on Mac

Hi, when I run my AIR application on Windows, I'm able to do
the drag and drop.
But when I run the application on Mac, it gave me an
allocation error: unable to allocate region of size <random
number> after I drag and drop thrice.
Anybody knows what's the reason?

Pages does not support the Apple font used for color emoji, so that behavior is normal.
With what app are you reading the yahoo mail? There is really no guarantee than any other email service will show the special Apple font involved.
You should have no problem putting emoji directly into Mail or Text edit via drag drop from the Character Viewer as shown below.
You should also be able to upload graphics here easily by clicking on the camera icon. My email is tom at bluesky dot org.

I can't Drag and drop anything in iMovie11

My problem is that i cannot drag and drop anything in iMovie 11. Therefore i can't add transitions or anything like that. Please Help.

If third-party software called "Air Display" or "AirParrot" is installed, remove it according to the developer's instructions, then restart the computer. Back up all data before making any changes.

Can't drag and drop attachments into mail fullscreen

Have a weird issue. In lion I could drag and drog into a new mail message by dragging the attachment to the hot corner then to the fullscreen mail app then onto the new mail message.
Now for some reason in Mt. Lion it will no longer do this.
I can do it when mail is not in full screen mode or if I create a new mail message in another desktop.
Any suggestions?
And no I do not have air display on this computer (did do a search before posting)
Thanks!

When this happens can you drag and drop regular files and icons etc?
I did a clean install, setup several user accounts last night. Dragging and dropping was working in my main user account last night. This morning (computer on all night) I could not drag and drop anything in that particular user account including mail attachements. Other accounts worked fine. Thought it was a permissions issue but they were fine.
Ended up trashing the user account and resetting it up and everything back to normal.
