Drag and Drop without effect
Hello,
I have created a drag and drop following the examples
provided by the documentation, and i didn't find any example
without the zoom out effect during the drop.
So now I have my drag and drop operation using the drag and
drop manager and I would remove this effect during the drop.
Anyone can help me ?

Drag and Drop without Overlapping.
Can anyone give me direction on using 'drag and drop' in flash without overlapping?
For example - I have a list of buttons i drag to an area on the stage.
I do not want my buttons to overlap.
Any ideas? Tutorial / example... anything - I'm new on this and i'm in a crunch.
Thanks,
JackieHi kglad,

Drag and Drop audio effect hits all tracks
How is it that when I drag and drop a tried and true compressor effect onto an audio clip (FCP6), it now takes to all audio tracks from the same clip. Then I have to go back and remove the effect from the other (3) tracks. Bug, or setting I'm missing?
ForrestFinal Update: ...god willing...
OK! Check it, like I said in previous posts I seemed to have narrowed it down to specific mp3s not converting and playing in their native sample rate which if paired with another sample would give you the "audio midi sync" error and basically screw up your clock! It appears mp3 files converting to mp3 using iTunes would not convert to the correct sample rate if set to something other than 44 in logic and cause this. A tad peculiar Apple iTunes won't work with Apple Logic. I was able to confirm this on two mac's via my friend in Florida. He's running Tiger and tried the same experiment and Booya! Mickey Mouse! It appears this insane week long adventure has came to an end (...god willing) with a super specific unlucky shot in the dark on my part finally revealed to be an perfectly normal function of Logic (obviously one i'm not fond of..) As far as the errors / crashes / system overloads / kernal panics I think I can sort those out to the mackie onyx satellite not being a good choice and trying to add and remove firewire devices in the middle of the sample rate mayhem. Wow! all I can say is, I'm glad it's over
Wish me a lot of luck in the future.. I'm sure i'll need it! -
Drag and drop onto a cd loses quality
I shoot in RAW and the file sizes are large and I can manipulate the e-mails BUT
I noitced that when I drag and dropped RAW photos on to a CD to burn the jPeg qulaity dropped.
For instance a 14.5mb drops to 537kb..
I would guess I need to change something and would like help with the issue.
Thnak you,
GregHi Greg -- I really wish I could retract my post. It doesn't read at all the way I thought it did. Please accept my apology. What I was trying to say is that as a means of exporting, drag-and-drop is effectively crippled in Aperture.
Aperture's complexity makes dragging-and-dropping Images to create and export files unworkable without additional input. The designers made, imho, a good decision in making drag-and-drop of Images from Aperture to another program equal to exporting the Previews of the dragged Images.
Again, my apologies -- and my thanks for your soft handling of my rudeness.
Cheers,

I would buy this product if the ajax features somehow
supported the implementaion of drag and drop in a way that was
simple to use.
I am dabbling in vb.net/asp.net and its version of ajax
tools. The support for drag and drop are not all that good at this
time.
I have even bought a book that had a chapter on it. It still
takes too much java hand written code to impliment it.
I also own dreamweaver MX. I use this product to do all my
web sites. They all are home stuff and fun stuff. My wife wants her
site to have the user be able to grab an object and drop it on a
specific location and have an event occur. In her case she wants an
animated GIF to fire.
I have turned to vb.net because i am a programmer and use
vb.net for application development. But!!! i am excited about DW
cs3. So my question is!!
Does DW CS3 Ajax tools provide a somewhat easy way to
impliment drag and drop without me having to write to much Java by
hand?
Thanx up front

Drag and Drop interfaces in javascript are nothing simple.
Don't expect any
magic wizards to help you with this.
There are a lot of AJAX/JS libraries. Many have DnD featuers,
but they'll
differ from library to library. you're going ot have to do a
lot of legwork
and takea look at them all.
I've used Scriptaculous in the past, but have found it
limiting. I'm going
to be looking at Jquery UI next.

Java is not involved. JAVASCRIPT is.
DW does not do .net, so you you're going to do .net, you
should look at
Visual Studio as your main development IDE.

Firefox does not allow me to drag and drop files on FTP site anymore. It used to work before.
Hi. I have a Linux FTP server at a client's office. They used to use IE and I moved them to firefox. They could at one stage, drag and drop (upload) files and documents using only firefox and not a third party software. Somehow this stop working. Is there any setting in firefox that can be changed in order to allow drag and drop without using a third party software? This client is very fussy and does not want to use third party software, as the drag and drop worked before. This is their argument.
1- of course i know i have to accept the change, i just don't recall specifically whether or not iPhoto itself was one of the recent updates i accepted. lol
2-this is not true - a few years back, it was a 2 step process. Then it changed with one of the upgrades, and i have been able (as long as i selected 4x3 *book* as opposed to 4x3 *dvd*) to drag between orientations for the past few years - at LEAST 2 years, maybe as many as 4 (I lose track). I remember thinking at the time what a wonderful upgrade that was because it did away with all that needless clicking. Now all of a sudden this month, it has been switched off - am I the only one who has noticed this?
I have been creating an annual 'family photo album' book via iPhoto for several years now, and i use the 4x3 book sizing specifically for that reason, so I've got lots of experience using this setting. I *know* it used to work the other way. -
Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks
Here's the short-cut solution:
Green Apple tracks are MIDI files (so to speak). If you drag one from the loop browser (Capitol C Orchestral hit, as you mentioned in this exable) directly into the arrange page it creates the MIDI file and the instrument to play it back on.
HOWEVER.If you create and audio track first, THEN drag the green Apple loop onto that track, the loop will get "bounced" with the reverb in tact and you'll have the exact sound that you heard in the preview.
Make sense? -
I took some video over christmas using my iphone 4 and ever since i have been trying to back up these videos for safe keeping. When i tried to back up to my computer's c drive only the smallest file would load, the other 2 the icon would appear but no data was present in properties. so i then tried to drag and drop to my seagate 3tb GoFlex hard drive and i would also get icons but no data. It seems to me this would be a simple process anyone know the answer? I have windows xp and can seem to move everything else around without any problem just seems to be video as the problem?

Can i make a book in iPhoto without using any of the built in layout templates, which are too limiting when i have already cropped my pictures to show just what I want. Ideally I just want to drag and drop and arrange and size the pictures myself
If you have Pages you can create customs pages for your book as TD suggested. If you have Pages from iWork 09 or 11 this app will add 80 or so additional frames to those offered: Frames and Strokes Installer. Don't use it on the latest Pages version, however.
This tutorial shows how to create a custom page with the theme's background: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book. Once the page is complete to get it into iPhoto as a jpeg file follow these steps:
Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
NOTE: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. For books to be printed choose 300 dpi. -

Where exactly do i have to add the MouseMotionListener , i guess that i should add it to the canvas , and the inherited metod shoul be modified in order to use canvas.repaint() at the location where the draggin effect has ended, or if there is some other way when i press the mouse on the figure and start moving around to getX() and getY() and use the repaint method at those coordinates , wich is a drag and drop effect , i think that it would be MouseMoved , but i`m not sure, and also not sure how to use the Event Listener , where exactly ?
Thanks,
PaulWhen you post a code, use code tags for propere formatting. Click CODE icon on the taskbar for generating code tag pair you need.
In order to do dragging the figure on the canvas or panel, you should use advanced Java 2D APIs, including Shape and its descendants. Example shown below might help, but beware, this version does not remember previous drag result for a figure over multiple lista Choice selection. Previous drag result is reset for the next selection of the same figure.
If you want to prevent flickering on the screen while dragging, use javax.swing and its components. If you have to use AWT, draw the figure into an Image or BufferedImage of full panel size and call g2.drawImage() in the paint() method.

Drag and Drop with mx.effects.SoundEffect
I am trying to get a soundeffect to play after a successful
drag and drop operation. Unfortunately, there is no dragDropEffect,
so I cannot use mxml for adding sound when a drop is completed.
(However a sound effect can be used when the user first clicks on
something before drag occurs by using mouseDownEffect.)
Below is my code which attempts doing this from one tile to
another with an image. For debugging purposes I have added an Alert
to show where the sound effect fails to play. Can anyone see what
is wrong with my code?

Drag and Drop into Photoshop layer without resizing the source image
Hello,
I am using Photoshop CS5, 64bit, in Windows 7.
I went through following steps and getting result that I do not want:
1. Open an existing photopshop file.
2. From the explorer window of my folder, select 100 png files and drag into the graphics area of the open photoshop image.
Result: Photoshop resizes the png file and place it as a layer. It also asks me to commit the resizing for each individual file that I dragged and drop. Sometimes, it takes it as 100% scale, sometimes, 98%, sometimes 102%. If I change it to 100%, then it is not the original size. The image become larger and blurry.
Expected Result: Place 200 png files as separate layer of the open photopshop without resizing it.
My png files are icons that don't need resizing. I cannot tweak 200 images just to get this to the original dimension!
Other things I tried:
I turned off the "Preference->General->Resize Image During Place". I also turned off "Place or Drag Raster Images as Smart Objects".
I still get the same result. I need nothing smart here. Just let me place images without any smart stuff!
I also went to help and googled. I could not find what I need.
Thank you!That works!!
Thank you! -
Drag and Drop Learning Interaction without Overlapping
I would like to be able to drag and drop into a column without dragged items overlapping for a quiz question. I don't know Action Script and am using CS3. What do I need to do to get this to work. Component Inspector states Drag1 = Target 1, etc. I need to drag the items to any of targets 1, 2, and 3. Hopefully, someone out there can help me.
Thank you.
LaraineThank you for your reply. Your idea of a boolean variable to define the state of the response is what I was initially trying to accomplish. Almost as soon as clicked on 'submit', the thought occurred to me to look for action script in the drag/drop component. I found it and found the response states defined there. Consequently, I achieved external movie clip control. I'm new to this forum and appreciate your help.
