Drag and drop does not work in firefox 3

Does anybody has the same issue with firefox when you add a layout to the oracle composer and you want to drag and drop some components that it just does not work...
When i hoover over the title bar of a component i see the cross icon but the drag & drop does not work. WHen i do the same in IE8 or google chrome, it does work.
I have this issue for both oracle composer stuff as for sites i build in webcenter spaces.
We are working with the latest version of webcenter

WebCenter is compatible with:
* Firefox 2 & 3
* Internet Exploirer 7 and 8
* Safari 3.0
It might be caused by a firefox extension in your browser.

Thank you answers, but it was not the answer I wanted.
[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 does not work in Exported release build

I am using the built in DragManager class to handle some drag and drop functionality in an application. When running from flex builder, It runs exactly as expected, but when I export the project to a release build, Dragging only works in the vertical direction. How is this possible? What might be causing such strange behavior.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry, I will try to be more clear. I am using drag and drop simply to move items around on a Canvas. This works perfectly when running from flex builder, but when i export a release build it starts behaving strangely.
I can drag items up or down on the canvas no problem, but as soon as I try to drag items left or right, there is no response. On a windows machine, it gives me the black circle with a slash through it icon, implying that the drag is not accepted. On Mac, there is no icon, it simply will not drag.
Hope that clarifies it, I could really use some help figuring this issue out.
Update:
I can confirm that the call to DragManager.acceptDragDrop is being reached in both cases, but the DragEvent.DRAG_DROP event is not being handled in the release build, (it is reached when run from flex builder)

Drag and Drop does not work

my iPhoto was working fine until the last update. Now, it won't let me drag and drop photos from my photos or events to albums, projects or galleries
is there a setting that has changed...

Problem solved from another post... sorry for the duplicate thread.
As posted....
Go to Font Book in your Applications Folder. Use it to rnable the Helvetica Fonts - if necessary, turn them off and back on again. Restart iPhoto.

Drag and drop does not work with multiple images

if i try to drag and drop more than one image, nothing happens, no activity at all. i think i had this problem on another computer and it had something to do with the fonts. i can not remember exactly thanks iphoto 6

Go to font book and use it to make sure the helvetica font is enabled - disable and re-enable it if necessary.

OS X is all about keyboard shortcuts.
To cut       cmd+x
To copy     cmd+c
To paste    cmd+v
With the Mouse, hold command and drag to your destination.

Drag and Drop does not work In Linux

I have a asimple application that displays the file name and path when a file is dragged and dropped from Windows Explorer to a Java Frame. However, the same operation bombs in Linux. Please advise.

Hello SixSigma
I found the way for GNOME but not KDE.
Here's a little code:
public boolean importData(JComponent c, Transferable t) {
    if (canImport(c, t.getTransferDataFlavors())) {
      try {
        DataFlavor[] flavors = t.getTransferDataFlavors();
        for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
          // Drop from Windows
          if (DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor.equals(flavors)) {
if (t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor) instanceof
java.util.List) {
java.util.List fileList = (java.util.List) t.getTransferData(
DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor);
if (fileList.get(0) instanceof File) {
File f = (File) fileList.get(0);
// Do whatever with the file
abrirArchivo(f);
return true;
return false;
return false;
// Drop from GNOME
else if (DataFlavor.stringFlavor.equals(flavors[i])) {
if (t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.stringFlavor) instanceof String) {
String path = (String) t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.stringFlavor);
path=dropDesdeGnome(path);
if (path!=null) {
File f = new File(path);
// Do whatever with the file
abrirArchivo(f);
return true;
return false;
return false;
catch (UnsupportedFlavorException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
return false;
public boolean canImport(JComponent c, DataFlavor[] flavors) {
    for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
      if (DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor.equals(flavors)) {
return true;
else if (DataFlavor.stringFlavor.equals(flavors[i])) {
return true;
return false;
// Take selection's first file and put off the starting "file://" and the "\n"
private String dropDesdeGnome(String path) {
    if (path.startsWith("file://")) {
      return path.substring(7, path.indexOf("\n")-1);
    return null;
}Have tested with GNOME 2.2 and 2.6.
If anyone achieve drop from KDE, please, post it (I love KDE).

In administrator mode drag n drop does not work

1. My application always run in administrator mode.

Pages: I want to reorganize items in folders, drag and drop is not working. So how can I do this?

Pages: I want to reorganize items in folders, drag and drop is not working. So how can I do this?

This is the very top of the documents view in the Pages app. If you don't see this, swipe down in this window to reveal the Date and Name tabs like you see here. If you tap on - Name - that arranges all of the documents in alphabetical order in this view and it also arranges documents in the respective folders alphabetically. If you tap on - Date - that will arrange all documents by the date that they were created or last edited. You want to make sure that you keep Name as the default at the top.
Trust me, this does work. If you name the chapters alphabetically .... Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, or if you simply name them A, B, C, D, etc. they will be arranged in that order using the Name button at the top, which uses alphabetical order to arrange the documents.

Why does the drag and drop feature not work?

I have several files on my desktop. When I try to move them o a new location, they just 'snap back' to their original position. Why doesn't the drag and drop feature not function properly?

I'm just trying to move some files to a new position on the desktop.

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.

Illustrator extension - Drag and drop is not working on mac

During testing my extension on Mac,I noticed that drag and drop doesn't work as expected. Therefore I have created a new simple extension with two lists.
<s:List id="lst1" label="name" dragEnabled="true">
     <tree>
          <name>a</name>
          <name>b</name>
          <name>c</name>
     </tree>
</s:List>
<s:List id="lst2" dropEnabled="true" dragMoveEnabled="true"> </s:List>
This will allow lst1 items to be dragged and drop in lst2.
This sample works fine on Windows and on Mac as AIR app but not working as extension on Illustrator( Not able to drag and drop between list on mac).
Any help or workaround would be appreciated.

Thanks for quick reply and help. I am able to drag multiple files but this is giving problem in case of filename with spaces like "abc def.png". Can you please put some thoughts on this.
DataFlavor uriListFlavor = new DataFlavor("text/uri-list;class=java.lang.String");
               Reader in = (Reader)t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor);
               BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
               String uriStr;
               while ((uriStr = br.readLine()) != null)
                   URL url = new URL(uriStr);
                   String category = GalleryUtils.contentsPanel.getCurrentCategoryPath();
                   GalleryUtils.generateILPFromFile(new File(url.getFile()), category);
               }Thanks

Drag and drop tabs not working

Dragging and dropping tabs no longer works. I cannot drag a tab out to a new window or reorder the tabs. This used to work and is a very nice feature. Reordering bookmarks by dragging them around also appears to be broken.
Disabling plugins or resetting Firefox did not help.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Drag and Drop feature not working

I'm using a Mac Book Pro running OS X version 10.7.5 and I find that fairly often, when I click and drag something (anything) that the mouse will not drop or release the item, and the only way I can fix it is to force quit the program. I have been into the system preferences and tried to adjust those features to no avail. This has been accuring for almost a year now. I find that it does this most often after a reboot. For now, if I reboot, I cannot drag and drop anything for about an hour, then after that, the drag and drop feature seems to work just fine. Help!
Side info: I am also using BootCamp with Windows 7, if that helps
Thanks, looking forward to some good advise!

biggsbdavis:
Try disabling and then re-enabling the Helvetica font. Sometimes that's all it takes.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
