Cannot scroll drop downs, or drag and drop files/folders with mouse

I cannot scroll drop downs (I can click them, but I can't choose anything) or drag files or folders with the mouse or touch pad, but it works fine when I use my Wacom tablet. It's super frustrating. Help!

P.S. I've narrowed the problem down to being related to the game Diablo III. If I restart my machine, it works fine again. Until I play Diablo. Totally lame.

Drop down box drag and drop storyboard

Hello
I'm trying to create an interactive storyboard using the drag
and drop function to drag characters onto a stage so the user can
arrange them however they wish. My problem is that now I have
started this project I have realised I need a lot more images than
first thought and have limited space as this is to go on a website
and have the option to be printed.
Therefore, I have been trying to create a dropdown menu with
tabs with the character name on and when the tab is clicked a box
with all that characters images appears below. Now I managed to
make this work but then when you click between the tabs having
placed the characters on the storyboard, if you click a tab in the
timeline before the one you were on, obviously the character
disappears from the stage. Is there anyway of creating a drop-down
menu or something similar to save space, which can have draggable
movieclips in?
Also my second problem is does anyone know how to create a
duplicateable movieclip. For example, once a character is dragged
from the menu onto the storyboard, it is now only on the storyboard
and there is only one copy. Now I know I could just make loads of
the same character and layer them, but it would be much better if
someone knew of a way to duplicate a movieclip once it is dragged
away so that there is always one in the menu.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am fairly new to
flash and am trying my hardest to get to grips with actionscript.
Cheers,
Anna

Thanks for your help but not too sure I understand most of
it.
Just working on duplicating characters at the moment and so
far have managed to duplicate once but then can only move duplicate
character and original disappears.
This is the code I have on the movieclip at the mo - any
suggestions very very welcome.
on (press) {
startDrag(this, true);
duplicateMovieClip(this, newname="drag_clip_new", 2);
on (release) {
stopDrag();
Don't know much about depth etc.
Also found this code on the net but am having trouble
changing it to fit my needs:
var mcNum = 1;
var dupli:MovieClip;
mc1.onPress = function() {
dupli = mc1.duplicateMovieClip("mcname"+mcNum, ++mcNum);
dupli._x = mc1._x;
dupli._y = mc1._y;
dupli.startDrag();
this._parent["mcname"+mcNum].onPress = function() {
this.startDrag();
this._parent["mcname"+mcNum].onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();
mc1.onRelease = function() {
dupli.stopDrag();
mc1.onReleaseOutside = function() {
dupli.stopDrag();
Again any help very welcome!

My touch pad is no longer responding to hard press downs for drag and drop or copy and paste

my touch pad is no longer responding to hard press downs for drag and drop or copy and paste ability

may be a totally stupid question, but how can I tell?

Cannot change target sound in drag and drop to "no sound" once a default sound is selected in Captivate 8

I was trying out all the options for a drag and drop interaction in Captivate 8 and selected one of the default sounds for a target. I want to change it back to "no sound", but the selection never sticks. Is there something I'm missing or is this a "feature"?

When you go to the “Format” tab of the drag and drop properties, there is an option called “audio” (right below the “depth” option).
It has default sounds you can pick (sound1, sound2, sound3, and incorrect sound). Or you can browse to an audio file. If I select one of the default sounds, and then decide not to use any sound, it will not change to the “none” option. I have to delete the drag and drop interaction and start over.

Is there a way to cut down on the "suction power" of the drop items in drag and drop?

I am trying to develop a game where the user has to correctly space objects from one another depending on what their relationship to one another is. The drop objects are actually completely transparent and the user has to place the drag item perfectly on top of it. The problem is that when the user doesnt place the drag object directly on top of the drop object, it nevertheless gets pulled to that object . 1. I want there to be virtually no pull power. 2. I would also like the the user to be able to continuously click on the drop object and move it slightly until he thinks it is perfectly correctly, and the object stay where he dropped it -- I dont want it pulled back to its origin.
If this is possible, please let me know!!
Thank you!
Ryan

What you are referring to is called Snapping Behaviour. In the Cp version of drag and drop, there's really no way to turn it off.
If you are not intending to output to HTML5, you could trial Infosemantics Drag and Drop widgets.
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/download-free-trial-widgets
The drag and drop widgets have the option to turn off Snapping Behaviour altogether so that your user can just place the object where he wants before submitting the answer.
Just remember that the target object is the drag object's 'hit' area. The way Flash hit areas work means that if the drag object touches any part of the hit area, this is counted as Success. So the size of the hit area really determines how precise your user has to be in hitting the target. It's not determined by whether or not the target and hit area are the same size and the user places the drag object exactly on top of the target.
Teh video at the very bottom of this page shows an example where snapping is turned off:

Image as drop target for drag and drop

was wondering how I can make an image to be a drop target using the dnd api. so far from what i've seen it takes only java components to be target, so if anyone has any ideas it will be great.
thanks

I don't know why your DropTarget implementation doesn't work, but an alternative, more high-level way of doing what you want is to use a TransferHandler:
        canvas.setTransferHandler(new TransferHandler() {
            @Override
            public boolean canImport(TransferSupport support) {
                if (support.isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor.stringFlavor)) {
                    support.setDropAction(DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY);
                    return true;
                return false;
            @Override
            public boolean importData(TransferSupport support) {
                try {
                    String text = (String) support.getTransferable().getTransferData(DataFlavor.stringFlavor);
                    System.out.println(text);
                    return true;
                catch (Exception ex) {
                    ex.printStackTrace();
                    return false;
        });

Drag and drop in album?

When I'm going through an event in order to pick photos for an album, I like to see the photos in full view (not thumbnails). But then I can't drag and drop from the full view to the album folder. And if I go down to drag and drop the corresponding photo in the thumbnail bar below, the darn thumbnail bar gets magnified, and I have to move my cursor once again to get the right photo. Is there a better way to do this??? Can I at least make that thumbnail bar stop magnifying itself?
Julie

One way would be to view the photos in what ever mode you need in order make your selection and then either flag the photo (Command+period) or add a keyword to it via the Keyword pane (Command+k).
Then create a smart album whose criteria is Keyword is XXXXXX or Photo is Flagged. When you've completed your selection open the Smart album, select all of the photos and drag them to the Album area at the left to create a new, regular album. Then remove the flag or keyword from the photos to clear the smart album.
If you go the Flagged route and don't have any other flagged photos in the library you won't need a smart album because there's already one in the Recent area to the left titled Flagged. You can use it.

Drag and drop in I tunes

I can drag and drop music from the computer to the I tunes library, but It won't let me drag and drop from the library to a new play list I created. Only to the I tunes DJ. How can I do that?

I am also having this frustrating problem with version 9.0.2. I cannot click and drag a song to any other folder, namely different playlist folders. Furthermore, cannot reorganize the songs by dragging and dropping. I have been adding songs to playlists by clicking the song +control and choosing "add to playlist" and sorting it that way.
I find that quitting itunes then restarting will fix this problem momentarily. I am forced to make any changes to song order right after restarting. Within a few minutes the same problems return. Super frustrating. Looking for any suggestions. Thanks.

Drag and drop function to playlist

I cannot drag and drop songs from the library to my generated playlists. I can however, right click on the song and move it to the same playlist. Furthermore the songs that I have recently bought from itunes can be moved from the library to the playlist. The songs that cannot me moved via the drag and drop function were loaded from a flash drive because we bought a new pc and wanted to move the library. Any ideas would be appreciated.

After a lot of searching and no expectation of receiving an answer from Apple, I reverted back to v10.3. This gave me back the ability to drag and drop to playlists and my ipod.
Good luck to anyone else out there having this issue.

Drag and Drop Jtree

hi
this code in a jtree accepts stuff dropped over using drag and drop, but when it accepts drops, they register fine. but when i expand the node, and then drop on it it refuses to accept the drop, the drop just doesnt happen!
can you help? im totaly stuck!
i can see that the drop is happening from system.out.println but its not regiistering on the tree gui even when i repeatedly collapse/expand the node!
once i touch a node it refuses to accept any drops henceforth!
public void drop(DropTargetDropEvent dtde) {
          Point point = dtde.getLocation();
          int x = (int)point.getX();
          int y = (int)point.getY();
          numberDropped++;
          TreePath path = getPathForLocation(x,y);
          System.out.println(path);
          try {
               selectedNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)path.getLastPathComponent();
               System.out.println(selectedNode.getUserObject());
               for(int i=0;i<selectedNode.getChildCount();i++) {
                    System.out.println(((DefaultMutableTreeNode)selectedNode.getChildAt(i)).getUserObject());
          } catch(Exception e) {
               System.out.println("No available node");
          System.out.println(selectedNode.getAllowsChildren());
          System.out.println(selectedNode.getChildCount());
          try {
               DataFlavor stringFlavor = DataFlavor.stringFlavor;
               Transferable tr = dtde.getTransferable();
               if(dtde.isDataFlavorSupported(stringFlavor)) {
                    String filename = (String) tr.getTransferData(stringFlavor);
                    try {
                         URL picture = new URL(filename);
                         addImageToNode(selectedNode, picture);
                         System.out.println(filename + selectedNode);
                    }catch(Exception e){
                         e.printStackTrace();
                    dtde.acceptDrop(DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY_OR_MOVE);
                    dtde.dropComplete(true);
               else {
                    dtde.rejectDrop();
                    System.out.println("Drop rejected");
          catch(UnsupportedFlavorException ufe) {
               ufe.printStackTrace();
          catch(IOException ioe) {
               ioe.printStackTrace();
     }this is the addImageTiNode method
public void addImageToNode(DefaultMutableTreeNode givenNode, URL pictureLocation) {
          System.out.println("In aITN");
          System.out.println(givenNode.getUserObject());
          if(givenNode.getAllowsChildren()) {
               DefaultMutableTreeNode image = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(pictureLocation, false);
               givenNode.add(image);
               this.repaint();
          else {
               System.out.println("This node does not allow children");
          //System.out.println(selectedNode + " at " + pictureLocation);
     }

You need to call DropTargetDragEvent.rejectDrag() in
the dragOver() method of DropTargetListener.Thanks. I have done that but it doesn't change the cursor to the defaultNoMove cursor. Any other suggestions?

Drag and drop photos not working

With Aperture 3.5 you can no longer Drag a photo to another app, such as iMessage and drop the photo into that app.
The target Apps do not see the Drag operation and therefore ignore it (don't show the + when ready to accept the dropped photo).
Drage and Drop continues to work on earlier Aperture releases even if you update to Mavericks.

And it works with iMessages.
After enabling the previews in Aperture's preferences you need to generate them. The previews settings will only automatically create previews for new photos. To generate them for older images, use the command "Photos > Update Preview".
How large are the images, that you try to drag? For very small images Aperture will not create previews at all, if the images have not been adjusted.

Drag and drop in APEX 4.1

Hi everyone,
I'm wanting to create an APEX application but I am a novice when it comes to APEX.
One of the key points to my app is that it will need to be able to have drag and drop capabilities. Not drag and drop data but drag and drop objects like in this blog post: http://rutgerderuiter.blogspot.com/2008/07/drag-planboard.html
That article is pretty much what I want to do. I was just wondering if this is easier in the most recent version as that blog is several years old.
Does anyone know if there are newer features that make this easier? Any relevant links?
Thanks!

Hi jarola,
I was looking for a sample application that provides a fancy "drag and drop" and found your thread here.
I checked your link and the online version of the kanban board - veeeery great! Exactly what I'm looking for!! thumbs up :-)
Since I want to use it in an APEX application, I downloaded your sample application. Import was successful and I also took care of your "readme.txt":
"When installing application on Application Express release 4
After installation, you need modify page template.
Move #HEAD# substitution string in page template header before javascript libraries."
But despite, I still get following error message when trying to create a new board:
TypeError: $.htmldbJSON is not a function
I tried to place the #HEAD# in different places, nothing seems to help. :-(
I'm running APEX Version 4.2.0.00.27 .
It would be glad if somebody can help me to find what I'm doing wrong here...
Thanks & regards

Getting a stop symbol while dragging and dropping in IE9 and IE8

Hello,
I have implemented the drag and drop of row in a table. The functionality is working fine but in IE 8 and IE9 when I drag and drop the row over another row it is showing a stop sign, though in-spite of that stop symbol the drag and drop is working fine. I am using jdev 11.1.1.6
Thanks
Tarun

Hi,
The cursor is under the control of the drag and drop framework during drag and drop operations. So if the behavior is normal on FF and /or Chrome and you have a support contract, please file a service request asking the analysts to look at your test case. Alternatively you can try and set.
If you don't have a support contract (still we are interested to get this issue checked), please send a test case to myself (mention your OS and the exact IE versions - you find that in the Help / About). In the latter case zip the workspace, rename the zip to unzip and use the mail address in my OTN profile.

Cannot Drag and Drop

Hello I cannot drag and drop anything on my iMac, i can move windows and etc.. but cant move files, dock icons, or desktop icons such as Macintosh HD or my external hard drive Lacie, also cannot copy and paste, i copied a song from itunes to paste in my Macintosh HD and iTines quit without an error popping up saying it unexpectledly quit, I cant play movies in Quicktime either I will go to open a .mp4 movie and it says movie could not be opened operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error-1407.) What its wrong??? I use my iMac for alot of thing and I use drag and drop and quicktime alot sooo what is the deal!!

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
