Drag and Drop UI Scripting?

Some (unscriptable) applications such as iMovie rely on drag and drop for key functions.
Is there way to do drag and drop using UI Scripting?

If there's a way to do that, I would be extremely happy to learn it.

I'm unable to drag-and-drop a script from the Story window in Premiere Pro to a clip

I have a film script visible in the Story window, and I try to drag it to the relevant clip in the Premiere Pro project window—but nothing happens.
I have also tried to attach an astx file, but I get the "matching scene number not found" error, even though I put scene number 1 in the clip and in the astx.
What am I doing wrong?
Incidentally, though your help indicates that "all the scripts" you have in Story will be visible in the Story Windows in Premiere Pro, I can see only the film scripts—not for instance the multicolumn scripts I also have. Is there something I can do about this?
Thanks you,
PIerre Sauvage

Hi,
Please make sure that you are performig drag drop with scenes and not complete scripts. You will notice a cursor change when you do so. For more clarification, please refer to this post. 'http://forums.adobe.com/message/5533247#5533247'.
Importing astx is a much longer way to go through the same thing , so i would suggest to try out the drag drop workflow only and let me know in case you still face issues with it.
Also, yes, column scripts wont be visible to you in the Story panel inside Premiere. For this, I am afraid you will have to convert your column scripts into a film script. Let me know if you need help with this.
Hope this helps.

AppleScript drag-and-drop interface to shell script

This is actually a cross-over question with AppleScript, but I'll try here first since I don't visit the AppleScript forum very often...
I have a shell script which takes as a parameter a file name and does something interesting with the file, but generates no terminal output except for a possible error message. What I'm looking for is an AppleScript script that would, at the Finder level, allow me to drag and drop a file onto it causing it to run my shell script passing to it the name of the file.
Having very limited experience with AppleScript, I'm hoping someone has something similar that they'd be willing to offer up.

Hi Ken,
   The following is a script I wrote as a test a while back. It's pretty simple so I imagine you can edit it to suit you needs.
on open filelist
   repeat with i in filelist
      do shell script "echo " & POSIX path of i & " >>~/out.txt"
   end repeat
end open

Are there any events to script a component when dragged and dropped into the parsys area?

are there any events to script a component when dragged and dropped into the parsys area?

The cq:listeners node of a component's cq:EditConfig has a number of events that fire with relation to the edit mode drag'n'drop stuff. You would probably want to hook one or more of the insert ones (beforeinsert, beforechildinsert, afterinsert, afterchildinsert).

Setting drag and drop components using script

Hi,
Is there a way to set the drag object name and target name of
the Drag and Drop component using actionscript? I have looked
through the help files and there is no mention of how to do this. I
cannot find any methods relating to the Learning Interactions
either. Can this be done or am I trying to do something that Flash
is not capable of?
The reason I wish to do this is so I can retrofit the D&D
component into existing code. The existing code generates new
object/target pairs and stores them in an array. I need to be able
to read these values and plug them into the component at runtime.
Any ideas?
TIA
Colin

Flash drag and drop not working on Firefox for android browser

Drag and drop functionality is not working using Firefox Browser for Android on tablet. We tested with flash action script 2.0 & 3.0 content, both have same issue. Specs of the tab and OS are as follows.
Android - Kitkat 4.4.2
Tab models - Lenovo A7600H and Samsung Tab4 T531
Please refer to a previous case raised on the same issue here at this link (Case 1029615) - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029615
Additionally, we observed that the object on which Drag and Drop event was triggered, is moving little bit when we double tap.
Does Firefox provide any libraries to support Drag and Drop functionality on Flash? We are using Geekoview api to execute flash content in our app. Will the same support be provided in Geekoview as well?
Are there other folks facing the same issue? Is there a solution or workaround to get this feature running?

Flash on Android is no longer supported by Adobe. While Firefox does support basic functionality we mainly focus on legacy video applications. You may run into issues with Flash and Geckoview. I doubt we have any resources to support that configuration.

Drag and Drop operation of SWT is not working in windows 7

I have created VB script to elevate all administrator permissions to user and launched my application but not able to drop image to label in my application on Windows 7. It works fine if I remove User Account Setting (UAC). Please help how I can solve it.

WTF? What are you talking about?
Drag and drop of what from where to where does not work how?
- What are you dragging?
- From Where?
- To Where?
- What do you expect to happen?
- What happens?
- Why do you expect that to happen?
- What technologies are you using?

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.

In addition, Windows7 64bit environment does not work drag and drop.
Is there another solution?

Use XML.sendAndLoad.
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002879.html
You will need a server script to receive the XML structure
and it depends on
the server scripting language how you obtain that data. Then
you can either
populate a database or write to a static file or even email
the XML data
received from Flash.
For a basic example, I have two links I use for students in
my Flash
courses:

How to add a code so my drag and drop movie clip will not stick once it is dragged to final place o

Hello all and kglad, I have to use the old drag and drop code on my movie clips, but the problem is when I drag the movieclip to the area on my .swf file once i release it, it sticks to the hand mover.
I am encloseing the action script I am using could someone or kglad tell me what is missing from the code so that once it is released it will not stick, see code below
circle.onPress = function(){
startDrag(this);
circle.onRelease = function(){
stopDrag();
I am desparate for help on this must get project ready for this afternoon
Seal55

there's nothing wrong with that code but it would be better to use:
circle.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag();
circle.onRelease = function(){
this.stopDrag();
but that won't solve your problem. there must be something else going on like a depth issue. you may need to use swapDepths() to bring your circle under the mouse when releasing.

Can you use a custom cursor with drag and drop?

Hi there! I'm a newbie flash user and working on a simulation for a graduate course in instructional design. I'm using Flash Professional CC on Mac. Here's what I'm trying to do. I have several draggable sprites on the stage and three target sprites. I have specified the original x,y locations of the sprites and have set the end x,y locations as those of each of the three targets. Items must be dragged to one of the three targets.
Some questions:
1. Can I specify more than one End x,y location for a draggable sprite? I'm creating a lesson to teach kindergartners how to sort lunchroom waste. If they have a napkin, for example, it could either go into the compost OR into the recycling. In cases like this where an item could really be placed into more than one bin, I want them to get it right if they do either of those things, rather than forcing them to choose which one.
2. To make my project more "fun" for kids, I wanted to customize the cursor with a graphic of hand. When I tried this in the flash file it works perfectly until I add the drag and drop functionality for the wasted items. Then the cursor will more around but not pick up any items. Once I revert back to the standard pointer, the correct drag and drop functionality is restored.
3. I have it set to snap back to the original location if learner attempts to drop the item on the wrong target. I want to be able to play a sound file when that happens, as well as play a sound file when it lands on the correct target, as well as shrink the item and change its opacity so that it appears invisible. I want to give the illusion of it being placed into the bin. I have no idea as to the proper way to code these events so that they happen.
4. I've watched dozens of hours of youtube tutorials before coming here. I'm a quick study, but am very new to action script. In one of the videos the developer showed referencing an external action script file which I don't think is an option in CC. The coding method he used seemed much more streamlined and "clean" than the chunks I'm working with now. Is there an easy way for me to code information about these objects than the way I've got it here now? I hate starting new things with bad habits. The perils of self-teaching.
Thanks!

In cases like this where an item could really be placed into more than one bin, I want them to get it right if they do either of those things, rather than forcing them to choose which one.
2. To make my project more "fun" for kids, I wanted to customize the cursor with a graphic of hand. When I tried this in the flash file it works perfectly until I add the drag and drop functionality for the wasted items. Then the cursor will more around but not pick up any items. Once I revert back to the standard pointer, the correct drag and drop functionality is restored.
assign your cursor's mouseEnabled property to false:
yourcursor.mouseEnabled=false;
3. I have it set to snap back to the original location if learner attempts to drop the item on the wrong target. I want to be able to play a sound file when that happens, as well as play a sound file when it lands on the correct target, as well as shrink the item and change its opacity so that it appears invisible. I want to give the illusion of it being placed into the bin. I have no idea as to the proper way to code these events so that they happen.
use the sound class to create a sound:
// initialize your correct sound once with
var correctSound:Sound=new CorrectSound(); // add an mp3 sound to your library and assign it class = CorrectSound
// apply the play() method everytime you want your sound to play:
correctSound.play();
// change an object's opacity:
someobject.alpha = .3; // partially visible
someobject.alpha = 1; // fully visible
someobject.visible=false; // not visible, at all.
// change an object's scale
someobject.scaleX=someobject.scaleY=.5; // shink width and height by 2
someobject.scaleX=someobject.scaleY=1; // resize to original
4. I've watched dozens of hours of youtube tutorials before coming here. I'm a quick study, but am very new to action script. In one of the videos the developer showed referencing an external action script file which I don't think is an option in CC. The coding method he used seemed much more streamlined and "clean" than the chunks I'm working with now. Is there an easy way for me to code information about these objects than the way I've got it here now? I hate starting new things with bad habits. The perils of self-teaching.
you could google:
actionscript 3 class coding
actionscript 3 object oriented programming
p.s. you can simplify and streamline your coding by learning about arrays and using hitTestObject.

Why cant I drag and drop into playlists

I used to be able to drop and drag inrto playlists. Now I get a message which says press + button to add, but there seems no way of doing it. I'm using windows 7

Apple Support Communities updatesI’ve tried the control-I route and then tried to locate the file without success. What I get as a file location starts with //localhost/C:/Users. It may also be useful to know that most/all the missing files seem to have been copied from CDs. I can’t be sure if it’s all because the whole music file has nearly 9000 entries! The ones that still seem to work were copied from an external hard drive.

why cant I drag and drop into playlists
                                The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. (In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows if this might apply.)
                                Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
                                In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Although it says something like "use the same location" it expects to find the tracks in the same artist & album layout that it generates, not all in one big folder.
                                If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

Why can I not drag-and-drop email addresses into Address Book?

I've used today the email client and the email address autocompletion feature figured out nicely the email addresses of the recipients I wanted to send the email to. So far so good. However, when I've selected all addresses in the To line, I would have liked to be able to drag-and-drop them into the Address Book application, automatically have new entries created there and why not a new group too?

No, that is not possible. However, [Mail Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has a script to add every address to the address book, allowing you to pick which ones go to which group and to add a new group, if you want.
