Drag and drop in Fireworks CS4?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a basic 'drag and drop' game in fireworks cs4? I want to be able to drag a small image from one column in a table to another. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Read the Help pages starting here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-78d3a .html.
There's also a tutorial here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_dynamic_site_pt1.html.
Basically, you create a recordset, and then drag the results from the Bindings panel.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Fireworks CS6 Drag and Drop?

I recently got the Fireworks CS6 trial to just well...try it out. I was unable to drag and drop images on to the program, instead when I try to the cursor changes to an icon with a circle and a line going diagonally across it..Any solutions?

Are you dragging and dropping an image onto the canvas of an open document? Or are you dragging an image onto the application icon (e.g. in the dock) in order to open the file in Fireworks? I'm able to do both on Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
However, there's other ways to accomplish both of those tasks—for example, using File > Import or File > Open.

"Could not drag and drop" smart symbol in FW CS4

When I drag a smart symbol from the common library over to my document, I get the message "Could not drag and drop. An error occured." I see this error whether or not I see the library conflict message. However, the symbol is placed in my document despite the error.
Why am I receiving this error when it seems to be working OK?

Was just reading another post about the CS4 bugs - afraid this is one of them!

At least it completes the action you want?? (Looking on the brightside!)
I think we all have our fingers crossed for an update ASAP to fix some of these issues?

Illustrator Default PDF, if open in Acro Pro, drag and drop other .ai files, will they also....

Hi! I'm trying to archive (for myself and others for easy access) about 50 fairly complex .ai files in a single Illustrator Default PDF and maintain editability and preserve layer and grouping integrity for every separate file, and, i'm probably going to have to do this hundreds of times (at least!) in the future. Once i save the initial first pdf file through Illustrator (wish didn't even have to do this, but seems no way to do in Bridge), then open the resulting pdf w Acrobat Pro, can i then just select an entire folder's worth of ai files in Bridge, drag and drop them into the pages panel and still have the dragged and dropped files also preserve all their AI info and layer/ group integrity? An if not, thinking if not based on 20 similar experiments, what's a fast way to do this. Doing this manually each time: opening each file in AI then saving as AI pdf, then combining and arranging them all after the fact, would be, well, fairly effed in terms of time, carpal tunnel, arthritis etc. Experimented w Bridge PDF Output batching (terrible rasterized lo-res results, but great for its intended purpose) and just dragging and dropping into Acrobat (lose complicated layer names and info, all flattened to single layer). Any help most appreciated, and as i do not have regular access to das interwebs (i live on a boat) would appreciate and heed gentle admonishment if i've misposted or broached any community etiquette here. I've researched this as well as i can but can't find anything efficient/ elegant not involving InDesign, and even then the details are skimpy. Thank You! Getting mentally exhausted and not a little loopy. Keep in mind had to teach myself both Illustrator, Acrobat etc with access to the very limited offline help menus (the boat), so a complex answer involving learning InDesign would be learning curve can't even imagine with everything else struggling to do. But if you're willing to babystep diagram it out for me or can find me a link that does i will not only be eternally grateful but will do my durndest to master it and pass it on....Thanks Again! lil mc szpf
PS If it helps I'm running the diligent dogged dusty beloved workhorse CS4 Design Premium on 27" monitor 2010 Mac (OS X 10.6.8), and took advantage of rare housesitting net access to install all most recent updates of everything, i'm barely competent w AI, PS, BR and been tackling Acrobat for past couple of months now....

im glad that somebody is atleast trying. perhaps i need to be more clear.
i will step by step describe the issue in detail.
1) i open an email that contains an attachment .dxf or .pdf
2) i click on the attachment shown in the email and aprompt comes up asking if i want to open or save the attachment.
3) i select save. (by default it saves to a downloads folder. but i have also chosen to use other folders (when i did that it wouldnt save them)
4) i highlight the downloads arrow on the right top side of my browser and click it
5) it pulls down a list of the files that i USED to be able to click and drag onto my destop, or anyplace i chose
6) used to be when i clicked and held the left mouse button down on top of a file of my choosing it would highlight and as i began to drag, a ghost image would appear of the file i was dragging. showing a (/) symbol next to it showing i couldnt drop the file within the browser and a + simbol showing that i could drop the file when the file was hovering over a place where i could drop the file such as my desktop or other folder. now, when i click and hold on the file.... I DONT get anything. when i drag. nothing follows. while i am "dragging" in the area that is my browser, i get the pointy finger icon. as soon as i enter an area where i could have dropped the file as before, i get my standard cursor arrow.
its really as if the drag and drop feature just dosent work IN FIREFOX.
i can drag and drop files all day long everyplace else.

Drag and Drop in a Creative Suite Extension

Hi,
One of the reports we've had about using the Creative Suite SDK is that native drag and drop doesn't work when dragging from an extension to the host application (for example, dragging an image from an extension to be placed in InDesign).
This is something we're very keen to make as easy as possible, to which end I've posted a write-up on the CS SDK blog of how you can achieve this. It works by using the Flash (rather than Flex) manager for dragging, and you can find more detail and a sample extension here.
Happy coding!
James

James, thanks for the great article!
After implementing all your techniques I have a couple of questions, and it will be cool, if you can find a time to answer just some of them!
1) Is there a way to force a drop? I mean, without mouse, just like copy and paste an object into current host, without dragging it?
2) Is there a universal way for all hosts to catch a moment just before the drop happened? (Harbs suggested to use a before_place event, but as I can see it only works for InDesign).
3) When I dragged an image of BITMAP_FORMAT type, I even was able to drop it to Fireworks - but not into Flash Pro document. Flash just crashes! Is this is a known issue and maybe some workaround exists?
Thank you!

Drag and drop js files.

Hello
How come when I drag and drop a .js file CS4 inserts an
<a> instead
of <script>? I mean, how often do I want to make an a
href link to
a js as opposed to attaching it to my page? Also the fact
that I'm
dropping it into the <head> section in code view should
give a
clue. It knows the correct thing to do with .css files, so
why not
.js?
I thought I could get clever with holding down ctrl or shift
but no
such luck. In fact, there doesn't seem to be any quick way to
do
it. There's only insert > html > script objects >
script > browse
for file.

JavaScript != Java; so you're in the wrong place.
That aside, I would never even bother to read the code you've posted since it's not in code tags.

Can't drag and drop a file into Photoshop for some reason?

I don't know what made it stop but at this point it's beginning to bug me to no end. I can no longer simply drag a file into Photoshop. I now have to go to "file --> open" in order to get anything into. Is there anything I can do to restore the ability to drag and drop?
Just to let you know I reset the preferences already and that did nothing. The other thing is I'm running Windows 7, however I've never had an issue with PS on it. Lastly I'm using CS4.
Thanks for any and all help.

You should be able to drag an image file from Windows Explorer into the work area if PS is open and maximised.
At least it works that way with Vista 64. It won't work dragging it on to the task bar button or the PS icon.

Can't drag and drop actions into a set

I'm using CS4 and haven't had this problem before. After loading various actions, I am unable to drag and drop them into one of my sets. The actions either drop above or below the set.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Carole

I can't think of any reason for this behaviour.
Maybe it's time to try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults. (A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.)

Can't Drag and Drop from Bridge/Folders anymore. Trashing Preferences didn't work

My Indesign CS4 is acting up.
I can no longer drag and drop from Bridge into my layouts, nor does it work from my PC folders to the layout.
I tried accessing the two preferences folder on my Vista as suggested here: http://indesignsecrets.com/rebuilding-indesign-preferences.php
That didn't work and I don't think the rebuilt worked because the files didn't recreate itself, I had to bring the copies back in.
Any idea what's going on and what to do?
Thanks!!!

There are actually two files in the ID prefs set that usually need to be removed together when things act up. See Replace Your Preferences

Unable to move ringtone or music by drag and drop and other ways.

Hello,
I recently got a new computer and its Windows 7. I downloaded iTunes, the newest version (11.1.4.62), on 1/31/2014. On my previous computer I had older version of iTunes and was able to simply drag and drop everything.
In this new version I found trouble with adding music but I figured that out. Next I wanted to add a ringtone but I was having trouble. I was able to add the ringtone to itunes-Library-Tones (format m4r) but after this I am unable to add it to devices-tones. I tried drag and drop, I tried sync and it simply wont work. If i try to drag and drop a song straight to my devices it wont allow that either. I am even unable to delete any songs that I have on my iphone through iTunes. I also had voice memos on m phone and I cant even edit that section or voice memos.
Someone please help! this is very frustrating that I can't remove, add, edit my iphone through iTunes.

After Effects CS4 is not supported on that version of Mac OS. See the system requirements for After Effects CS4:

AS3 drag and drop masked bitmaps - not working

I have a drag and drop project using bitmaps that were masked using fireworks. All bitmaps are PNG (fireworks files) and one object is GIF. All objects were converted into movie clips.
PROBLEM
All movie clips from PNG's can be dragged, but they can't be dropped. However, the GIF movie clip responds to both drag and drop.
ActionScript worked when all movie clips had GIF's.
Is this problem because the objects were masked or for any other reason?
Note: Objects were masked because their border is very fussy and cropping them doesn't help with the quality of their image.

var startY:Number;
var counter:Number = 0;

Drag and drop not working in CS6?

Hey guys, we recently updated to Fireworks CS6 (from CS5) @ work and while I do love the speed upgrade, there is one thing different that I cannot get past, I cannot drag and drop a document onto the Fireworks menu bar, I need to Open > File every time, its time consuming and frustrating... why would you drop this feature in CS6? :| Am I missing something?

Ah, so it does work in Fireworks CS6—just not on your setup at work. Again, is this a Mac or Windows OS?
After re-reading your initial post, I realized I'm not clear on what you mean by dragging and dropping a document "onto the Fireworks menu bar". I was initally picturing dragging a document onto the Fireworks application icon in the Mac OS dock (or the Windows equivalent to this, if there is one).
Are you actually talking about the command menu that appears across the top of the application interface? If so, I can't open a document using this method in either CS5 or CS6.

Drag and drop files to library on a Mac

Does anyone know how to do this? I feel silly asking how to drag and drop...yet it doesn't appear to be allowed on my Mac. I don't want to import to library because I import a lot of PNGs most of the time and Flash creates symbols for me (again, only on a Mac, not a PC). Is this some sort of ploy from Adobe to get Flash designers off Macs? I just think using Flash on a PC is MUCH more user friendly than on a Mac. There are other reasons I think this.
Anyway, if there is a way to drag and drop to the library, I'd love to hear it. thanks for any help!

Hi,
So, I assume you are dragging and dropping objects from your machine directly to Library pod or to your Slide.
Are these images/sounds located on network?
No, on the same drive (c:).
Try Closing Captivate and Right Click--Run As -Administrator and check if it is still doing the same behaviour on a enw project.
I've tried this. Same result.
Usually when you drag and drop an object -- if it is movable to destination is shows a small "+" and if not it shows "x" next to the faded dragged object.
Can you please try these and if it still happens, can you add some more information?
I've tried to drag and drop simple files, like jpg, mp3, swf... what ever. Nothing works. I've got the same problem on my home office system, wich is totally different to my working station here. My colleague here in my room has pretty the same system, and it works fine.
Windows 7 (32 bit), CP5 installed, CS4 installed, CS 5.5 installed, CP5.5 installed
What else you wanna know?
