Author time, attach components by drag and drop.

I want to build a component that provides a set of behaviors,
the component can be added to anyone's library, and then dragged
onto any movie clip on the stage in the authoring environment. When
dragged onto a movie clip the component is attached to that movie
and may add its behaviors to, or modify, the target movie.
Is this possible without asking my users to enter
actionscript to make the connections? Any ideas or pointers?
I have not been able to find any concrete examples of
something like this in action.
Thanks,
-BarryFM

Yes, you would have to use the Component architecture. It
allows for everything you describe. The documentation has a
tutorial on how to make a V2 component.

Mail doesn't attach files through dragging and dropping the files!

Help please,
Mail doesn't attach files through dragging and dropping the files on OS X ML, it crashes for a while !!

Open Disk Utility and Repair disk permissions on the First Aid tab.
Then, Restart and boot into Recovery Mode by holding down cmd-r on restart until you see a gray screen. When the Mac boots, you will be presented with some options. Choose Disk Utility and select your Hard drive volume (Macintosh HD is the default name). Then, on the First Aid tab, click Repair Disk (not permissions).
If that doesn't help, you could try installing the 10.8.2 combo updater from the Apple Downloads site:

Programatic Generation and positioning of components using Drag and Drop

Hi,
I am relatively new to ADF and UI Designing. Im trying to generate a flowchart using drag and drop feature in ADF. This involves creation of dragging images such as start,decision .. etc from one panel to another and dynamically creating a flowchart.
Up to now i have managed to drag images from panel1 to panel2 and create them dynamically in the bean class. However im stuck at this point .. Im not able to position the draggable components on the desired position in the panelGroup. They either appear horizontally or vertically.
Is there any way to achieve this. Also is it possible to assign a dropTarget to a a target component which is created dynamically ?
Thanks in anticipation ....
Lyle

Hi Lyle,
I am too only 4 months old to adf ,i use jdeveloper 10g.
In 10g for the components to be placed at desired locations i think is somewhat possible. While you can arrange them by using spaces which causes
f:verbatim tag to appear or you can use ADF Faces Core items like Object Spacer and Object Seperator where you can set their length and width to space objects on page...

Time Capsule...drag and drop??

It was my understanding that when the time capsule is set up wirelessly I should be able to drag and drop any files onto it and use it just like I would a wired external hard drive. It backs up my mac just fine through time machine but when I want to manage folders and photos in my own way on the time capsule it doesn't allow me. I am new to mac so maybe I am just clueless but any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Open your hard drive and look to see if your Time Capsule appears under the SHARED heading on the left of the pane.
If so, click the TC to show a TC folder to the right. Double click this folder.
Click the gear icon just above the window and select New Folder.
You can rename this folder and drop files into it. Create other folders as needed.

Mail "New Message" window retreats to background after drag and drop attachment from Finder to Mail "New Message", click, and Finder window stays in foreground even when not in focus

Hi, I'm surprised I can't quickly find if anyone else is having this issue. For me it has been going on since Lion on my 13" MacBook Pro 2011 and it's still persisting in Mavericks, and even still now that I've "downgraded" to a 15" MacBook Pro 2010 with Mavericks. The behavior is odd and difficult to explain concisely. Basically, when I want to add an attachment to Mail, I'll Cmd+Tab over to Finder click and drag and Cmd+Tab back to Mail, and drop the attachment. At first it looks fine, but when I click in the New Message window where I just dropped the attachment, to move the cursor, it retreats to the background and the Mail Main Window comes to the foreground. Then, if I click on that, the Finder window that I just used comes to the foreground. Sometimes if I switched to another app before going to Finder to select the drag and drop, that other app window will appear in the foreground instead. If I click on the other app window that is now in the foreground, then the Finder window that was last used will come to the foreground. The only thing that seems to fix this switch-a-roo effect is Cmd+Tab-ing back and forth a few times, or click on the window "frame" at the top to move the window around.
The way to prevent this is to have my Mail Message window visible in the foreground side by side with the Finder window when the drag and drop occurs (this is a tedious extra step if mulitple windows are open, or to use the add attachment command in the menu within Mail. But it sure is annoying buggy behavior.
Thanks
Daniel

Yep, I get exactly the same thing when using Thunderbird mail client on my 2011 iMac running Lion. I've been putting up with it for at least a year, maybe longer.
For me it appeared to start after a Thunderbird update, so I figured that was the cause and couldn't find a solution at the time. However I've now noticed it starting to happen in Apple Motion 4 when dragging files from Finder into a DropZone in my animations. Motion remains the active program but the Finder window sits on top until I Cmd-tab out to a third open program (ie not Finder) and back to Motion again.
This is the first indicator I've had that it's an OS X issue.
Be great to find a solution as D&D is by far my preferred way of adding attachments to emails and similar tasks.

Implementing drag and drop across components with drag image...

Hey all,
Finally got the hang of drag and drop. Not too hard, but a little time consuming. I found an article showing how to capture and drag a BufferedImage within a JTree. When you click and drag a node, it creates a BufferedImage of the node on screen and "ghosts" it a bit, which has a very appealing effect.
However, when I try to drag this image to a JList component, it disappears. So I created the same affect in the JList component. Now you can drag the image from the tree to the list and vice versa. However, the problem is, the image does not "fly over" the borders of the two components (butted up against each other) with the mouse. The image seems to go under the borders, while the mouse floats above everything.
What I would like to do is be able to drag the image all over the application, perhaps even the desktop in the case of a SDI application. I want to be able to see this image drag from my Java app over the Windows Explorer folder, just like how you can do that with Windows Explorer, dragging an image of the selected node into any app that supports the drop. I know we can handle the "transfer" data from explorer and vice versa, but how to be able to keep an image with the mouse?
My best guess is somehow using the Glass pane, grabbing a ref to its BufferedImage (if that is even what is there), and drawing the dragged item in that pane. But, then, how will the image move over the desktop outside of the app, where a glass pane is not?
Is there a way to draw on top of anything, anywhere, but still be able to redraw the background as the image moves with the mouse? There are times where the image may be big, so I don't want to have to capture the underlying screen as an image covering the size of the drag image to restore it as the drag image moves around.
Thank you.

We know cursors support some degree of transparence because they have shapes other than blocks.
I've done some playing around with
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(....);The sad news is, it seems that as soon as a pixel's alpha value is greater than 0, it automatically becomes 100% opaque.
The best you can do, is to take your image, and divide it into a pixel-checkerboard, and set the alpha value of alternating pixels to 0.
e.g.
BufferedImage i = new BufferedImage(32, 32, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
        int[] data = ((DataBufferInt)i.getRaster().getDataBuffer()).getData();
        boolean on = true;
        for (int z=0; z<data.length; z++)
            if (on)
                data[z] = 0xffffffff;
            else
                data[z] = 0x00000000;
            on = !on;
            if (z%32==0) on = !on;
        Cursor hazyWhite = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(i, new Point(0,0), "hw");

Mail attachment drag and drop issue

Been facing serious mail attachment drag-and-drop issue since 10.8 (if not from 10.7) and was disappointed to find the same behaviour still in 10.9.
When I drag and drop a picture file (from Finder for example) into a message window or onto the Mail.app Dock icon, the system's window management somehow gets confused: my next step is to click on the message window in order to start typing. However, the mouse click causes that very window to escape under all other open applications / windows. Further on, I dig under to find the escapee and click again: once more it escapes. This can go on for a few annoying rounds until gets solved in an unexplainable way. This behaviour in not consistent, but has happens in about 8 cases out of 10.
Apart from Mail.app I do not experience drag and drop issues of any kind.
Anyone else suffering from this?

I'd be interested in the answer to this too.
It only just started happening to me a day or so ago, about the time that I think I did an OS upgrade.
I'm on OSX 10.8.2.
Its annoying.
I can drop and drag in Finder but it just affects email.

How can I attach an additional action to the "reset" button in the drag and drop interaction?

Hello,
I would like to know how to attach an additional behavior to the "reset" button in my drag and drop exercise.
Here is the background:
In my drag and drop exercise, when the user drops the source on a target of his choice, certain elements appear and certain elements disappear
This means that depending on where he dropped the sources, certain elements will be visible and certain elements invisible when he is finished the activity
Because the sources are not re-draggable once he drops them, he will have the option to reset the exercise and start again from the beginning using the reset button
My challenge:
I would like exercise to return to its original state when the user selects the rest button . this means:
the dragged objects return to their orginal starting location (this is what naturally occurs when you hit the reset button)
any objects that had disappeared during the course of the activity reappear
objects that were not visible in the beginning , but had appeared during the course of the activity, again become invisible
So how can I add this action to the reset button?

Allowing the user to redrag the souce after it has been dropped would work for my particular problem if I could bind an action to the event redragging, namely making the elements reappear that had disappeared and the elements disappear that had appeared when the user dropped it the first time.

Drag and Drop Attachment from Outlook to LABVIEW

Hi,
I try to write a very simple program, which manages files. With the path control of LABVIEW we fortunately can Drag and Drop files from e.g. explorer, whose path I can use after dropping. The problem is, that I would like to do this directly with files from an Outlook mail attachment. Drag the attachment and drop it onto my LABVIEW window and be able to handle this file (copy elsewhere and rename it, for example)... That is what I dream of.
I searched the internet for a long time, but I didn't find a solution.
Thanks a lot for your help,
yours,
Daniel

Probably not as easily. Drag & Drop in Windows is a complicated thing with the Server and Client negotiating a format to transfer. The server can offer many formats and the client then selects the one it can handle. The LabVIEW path control only can handle physical paths. So if the server application offers a path as one of the formats and then when the application selects that format makes sure that the file is copied somewhere in the filesystem (temporary path) and sends that path to the client, the LabVIEW path control will work fine. If the server application insists into memory stream only formats, the LabVIEW path control can not deal with them in any way. Outlook being a Microsoft product most likely insists in OLE formats and then you get into trouble.
You basically need to interface to the Win32 or OLE Drag and Drop API to get this working. And no it's not trivial at all, because Drag and Drop not only varies greatly between platforms but also between OS versions.

Can we attach multiple images to a pages document in one go rather than drag and drop in to a media placeholder?

Danny,
Sure you csn. Don't be afraid to try this kind of stuff for yourself. If things don't work out, just Command-Z your way back to the previous state. In this case it should work just great. Once your multiple selection appears in Pages, click off the selected new objects to de-select them, then select them one at a time for positioning.

I want to Sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes however I get an error message from iTunes each time I connect the phone to the PC saying that I should restore to factory settings. Frustrating because it's already annoying enough that I can't drag and drop mp3's!!!

I have never been so frustrated before in my life with any phone. I find it obnoxious as it is that I cannot simply drag and drop files (especially MP3's) straight from my PC directly into my phone, which I have been used to doing up until now. Everyone who convinced me to get the iPhone has instructed me that my frustration can be fixed by downloading iTunes and syncing it all up via that program (which I have never used before). So, I downloaded the program successfully, however when I connect the iPhone 4 to the PC and iTunes is open, I get an error message that 'iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone "iPhone" and that I should go to the Preferences tab of the iPhone and select 'restore' to restore this phone to factory settings. First of all, I don't understand why I need to do that. I have already downloaded apps and other important things in the 2 days that I have the phone. I am also scared that it will erase my contacts. This is such a headache. Music is very imporatant to me, but I am getting so frustrated that I don't have freedom over the phone which I thought was supposed to be one of the best out there. I would really appreciate help in this matter. I am sure the phone is great but I am on the verge of taking it back and getting something else.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

Now i cant drag and drop anything on my desk top, or mail or any other application. Ive tried moving folders, documents none of it works. Even moving around documents within a folder, it wont let me chnage the position of files.
That shouldn't be related to Time Machine (especially if the backups aren't mounted).
What happens when you try those things? Do you get any messages? Anything you can post a screenshot of?
Have you tried a Restart?
Does it happen in another user account? (If you don't have one, create one via System Prefs > Users & Groups.)

I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives. I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC. Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files. An help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC. I do not share the drive with a PC. The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use. I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC. I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them. The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC. I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.
