Drag/Drop/Springloaded Folder Questions
Greetings,
I love the whole drag and hold springloaded folders thing almost entirely except two frustrating things:
1) why can't I drag onto the finder dock icon and have it pop open a finder window?
2) don't ever want a folder to open in icon view when it pops open; how can I prevent that?
Cheers -

Drag anything onto the Finder icon and hit the spacebar.
The point I was trying to make is that Finder is an application, not a folder & it doesn't spring open automatically because of this -- you have to perform an additional operation (hitting the spacebar) for it (or any other application in the Dock) to open some window, usually the frontmost or default window of the application.
This is of limited usefulness with the Finder since often you would be dragging an item from an already open & frontmost Finder window onto its Dock icon, which would result in ... that same window becoming frontmost again, gaining you nothing except a pointless bit of extra labor to get back to where you already were. Even if the Finder window isn't already frontmost, you can use the sidebar (also spring loaded for folders) to navigate into other folders.

Drag Drop (probably easiest question ever)
I'm new to flash and don't have anyone to ask for help so here I am...
I am just trying to create a draggable object. Easy right? Sure looks like it should be simple. But nope, never for me. So I do this:
on (press) {
startDrag (this);
on (release, releaseOutside) {
stopDrag ();
then I do Test Movie and when I click and drag, the ENTIRE CANVAS drags. The object I set the action for AND every other object on the canvas moves.
I'm creating this for a classroom and would really appreciate any help/advice I can get! Thanks!Well, I tried that and I am getting errors. I know it must be that I've done something wrong so here are the errors I'm getting.
1120: Access of undefined property Exposition2. Exposition2.onPress=function(){
1120: Access of undefined property Exposition2. Exposition2.onRelease=Exposition2.onReleaseOutside=function(){

Flash Quiz - Drag & Drop Default Error
Greetings !
I've come across a small 'flaw' in the quiz template:
If you test(ctrl+enter) the quiz template and go to the
Drag&Drop part (first question); you can see that you can drag
all the objects and drop them on 1 target. I don't know if this is
how it is supposed to be but this is a problem to my quiz app.
I'm not that good with ActionScript and I don't want to mess
up the default coding, so can someone please help me by altering
the script so that it does not allow multiple objects to 'sit' on
the target, i.e. it allows only 1 object on a target.
(It's interesting how Adobe/Macromedia hasn't changed or
checked the quiz templates in Flash Since Flash 6.)
Praises and Thanks to all helpers !Greetings !

How to move a picture in another folder with drag & drop
I want to move a picture in another folder with drag&drop. I work´s any more. What I do wrong?
Hi all!
Thanks.
The problem was between the flatscreen and the chair...:-) I clicked always on the gray frame around and not in the image.
Now it works! -
I've got about 2500 songs on my iphone, i have recently replaced my computer because the old one crashed, so i lost all the songs in the itunes library. My question is, it seems that now i am unable to drag/drop new downloaded songs without syncing my iphone & losing my 2500 songs from the phone?
You cannot. Iphone will sync/manually manage music with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing/manually managing with another will erase the current content from the iphone.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back. -
Dock Downloads Folder Drag & Drop Crashes Finder
When attempting to Drag & Drop files from the Downloads folder in the Dock to a different folder, whether that folder be on the Desktop, or open in a Finder window, Finder crashes and relaunches. Sometimes the file gets placed, sometimes it remains in the Dock. I have a similar problem with Mountain Lion on my 13" MBP, although Finder does not crash, it simply won't allow files to be dragged from the Dock to a folder icon on the Desktop.
This problem has been persistent through several updates, and has been present since upgrading to Lion, and is a problem on more than one computer. This does not happen with every file, but happens often enough to be frustrating. It also happens consistently when moving more than 2 files from the Downloads folder in the Dock to either the Desktop, or a folder. I am also unable to Drag & Drop a file from the Downloads (or Documents folder for that matter...) to any folder icon on the desktop.
I attempted this morning to file a bug report with Apple, but the Bug Reporting site had an error, and the Home Button on the Error page does nothing (hooray for web design!).Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.
As for the BR issue, https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/wa/signIn loads w/o issues. -
Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder
Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder
I saw the option only one time, and i reseach in the internet and I find fuse option, but now never saw again.
And Yes, I drag folders with the same name.Ok, Gracias por su pronta respuesta, yo necesito arrastar una carpeta a otra ubicacion con una carpeta del mismo nombre, entiendo que lion te advierte si desea reemplazar el contenido o fusionar (mexclar el contenido)
como lo dice aqui :
http://www.cioal.com/2011/06/29/las-cinco-novedades-mas-importantes-de-mac-os-x- lion/
3. Podrás combinar tus archivos y carpetas. Seguro que alguna vez has perdido algún archivo al combinar carpetas o archivos del mismo nombre pero distinto contenido. Ahora, cuando intentes mover una carpeta a un lugar con otra de idéntico nombre, tu equipo te preguntará si prefieres combinar ambas o cambiar una por otra. Los archivos serán tratados de una manera similar: Cuando coincidan archivos con el mismo nombre, el sistema te preguntará también si quieres mantener ambas copias.
y en muchas otras paginas que tratan el tema.
mi problema es que esa opcion no me aparece. solo la opcion de reemplazar (o no reemplazar o detener)
Lo increible es que alguna vez el mismo dia de hoy si me aperecio la opcion. -
I've been finding some anomalies when testing the movie, for
instance the question regarding the BA degree keeps telling me the
answer marked correct in the Component Inspector (# 6 American
Urban) is incorrect; other times it seems one question contains
part of another question's graphics, though I have scrupulously
made sure there is no overlap frame by frame.
I need someone with experience in quiz templates to go
through this until you find anomalies like those mentioned above,
and let me know if you have any idea what's causing them.
You can download the .fla at
http://mywebniche.com/test/FrontDeskTest.zip
The test can be seen at
http://mywebniche.com/test/FrontDeskTest1.html
[Note: The Name Field's actionscript is also not working.
When you enter your name on the first frame, it should appear on
the results page -- doesn't. Any idea what's wrong there?]
This is a real project and I really need help getting it bug
free.
Thanks.I have the solution. It is a bug in Flash for which I got
them to find a workaround.
If you ask me they don't spend nearly enought time/energy on
Flash in education, particularly the quizzes, which have so many
limitations and are lacking so many obviously needed features.
I'll post their workaround below, but I want you, and all who
read it to contact their feedback/wishlist for Flash and complain
about their Quizzes getting short shrift. Features badly needed
are:
- Ability to randomize AND require certain questions to
always appear.
- options to enter name and have it appear on Results Page
along with date and number of times the quiz has been re-taken.
- the ability to have multiple true/false questions
- better documentation on how to customize the template
graphics and how to use original graphics
- fix the drag & drop component permanently -- this is
arguably the most useful question format of them all !
- ability to save customized components -- as component
templates
- anything else you can think of that I haven't included here
Here's the fix:
1) in your movie, locate an instance of the Drag and Drop
Interaction component and select it.
2) Select Edit Symbols from the file menu (Edit > Edit
Symbols) to edit the symbol
3) The middle layer should be the Actions Layer. Select
frame 1 in that Actions layer and open the Actions panel
4) Scroll to the bottom of the script and find the
this.onUnload function located there.
5) Use your mouse and highlight the contents of that
function, not including the function name, and copy it. You
should have copied the following script:
var clearLast =
_parent.SessionArray[_parent.session].drag_objects;
var len = clearLast.length;
for(var i=0; i<len; i++){
_parent[clearLast
].removeMovieClip();
6) Return to the very top of the script and paste a copy of
this script there prior to the comment stating:
/*--------------VERSION CONTROL
INFORMATION----------------------
Note: You may need to make some room for the new script.
What this should do is ensure that the unload script is
called immediately upon the loading of a new drag and drop
interaction component clearing any prior objects used in the one
before it. This was not happening appropriately before
which is what was causing those dragged objects to remain on the
screen. -
Match/Drag & Drop Test questions
Just did my first Captivate thing... cool!
Noticed when using the Match Test with Drag & Drop...
1 - A little box shows up on the left that caused some
confusion... When you drag & drop it will populate itself with
the 'letter' of the choice the user made... BUT... the user can
also type the letter into the little box.
In our case the answers in the right hand column were numbers
like 6, 3, 9, 2, etc
So the user typed in the answer (like the number 6)... and
even though that was correct Captivate saw it as incorrect as it
was looking for the 'letter' of the answer in the right hand
column.
THE QUESTION: Can we hide that little box that appears by
each item in the left column of the Match Drag & Drop test?
2 - Captivate seems to shuffle the left column... any way to
make it shuffle the right column?
3 - Instead of entering text in the left column (or
alternately the right column) we want to show a graphic by each
choice... but when the user trys to drag and drop the graphic
Captivate doesn't see it... How have you guys handled using
graphics for one column or the other in the match drag & drop
test ?
4 - We added a text caption box to the Match test creen but
with only one line of 10 point type. Captivate wouldn't let us
adjust the height of the text frame to slightly larger than the
height of the text... even though we told it OK to adjust height
w/o adjusting width in the properties. Captivate seems to want to
maintain the height of the text caption frame to about 1/2 inch on
my screen... even if we use very small type. Any way to fix this as
we are running out of real estate on a few screens.
Sorry for all the questions but thanks for any kind
assistance.Hi Will_3
You might have better luck configuring your Matching to use
Drop-Downs for your user to select the match. To do this, edit the
question and in the lower left corner of the dialog, click the
drop-down and choose "Drop Down List". I'm thinking this could
avoid some of the confusion.
As for the images, you have already stated the answer. The
images may be present, but cannot be dragged to establish the
match. The shuffling is occurring because "Shuffle Answers" is
selected when you click Quiz > Quiz Preferences... > Quiz
node > Settings node.
As for the Text Caption, as you have seen, there is a minimum
height these can have. If you are using the Transparent caption
type, most of it will be invisible anyway, so it shouldn't matter.
After you get the caption positioned on the slide, you may lock it
by clicking the dot in the lock column of the Timeline. If you are
after a certain look for them, you may choose to create your own
Caption type at the size you need.
No need to apologize for asking questions. That's what the
forum is for!
Hopefully something I've offered here is helpful... Rick -
Audio drag & drop = (?) copy to project folder ?
Hi,
sorry for the enigmatic topic title, but it explains what I want to achieve.
I would like Logic to copy an audio file to the projects directory after I drag & drop it in the arrange (just like it is in Cubase).
I'm really confused about the way Logic handles audio files, and reading the manual did not help me at all. I've been working with Logic for the past year and still audio is a bit... difficult. Any advice and tips is highly appreciated.
greetings!Hi
Before you start work on a project, select File"Save As..." and check the 'Include Assets" box.
(This sets the project audio recording path to the project folder).
Hiding under the 'Advanced Options', there is a check box to select "Copy External Audio Files to the Project Folder".
This does what you need!
Please note that you must use Version 8.0.2, as the behaviour has changed. See the Late-Breaking News docs for more info.

I have implemented drag & drop using a datagrid and a list control. The items that need to be dragged are a simple value object that conatin data. Everything works as far as the drag/drop operations, however, I need to be able to know which item has been dropped. It's probably simple, but I can't find it. Can anyone help?
Just give each item an id
and listen to the
<s:List id="destList"
dragDrop="destList_dragDropHandler(event)" -
This is a fairly routine drag/drop interaction. The tricky part is when the invisilbe button 'btnInvis10' is clicked, another movieClip, 'dragger' appears and becomes the element being dragged, to be dropped onto 'mSquare'. AS3 is giving me some problems when I convert the code - really just changing the functions to be AS3 compliant. But I guess it needs more than just converting. Any ideas?
My AS2 code worked like this:
dragger._alpha = 0;
btnInvis10.onPress = function():Void {
dragger._alpha = 100;
dragger.startDrag(true);
onMouseUp = function ():Void {
var bOverlap:Boolean = dragger.hitTest(mSquare);
//trace(bOverlap);
if (bOverlap) {
dragger._alpha = 0;
btnInvis10._visible = false;
menubar._x = _xmouse;
menubar._y = _ymouse;
gotoAndStop(nextFrame());
bOverlap = false;
if (!bOverlap) {
dragger._alpha = 0;
dragger._x = 412;
dragger._y = 490;
dragger.stopDrag();Can you show your AS3 attempt as well?
I figure I should ask if the coding is errant wrt the way you test if bOverlap is true vs false (since it may be as intended). In the first conditional where it is true, it is set to false, which will cause the condition that follows it to also run since it is now false...
if (bOverlap) {
bOverlap = false;
if (!bOverlap) {
One last thing... gotoAndStop(nextFrame()); doesn't make sense (to me). nextFrame does not return a value, so using it as an argument doesn't buy anything. By itself it will cause the timeline to move to the next frame and stop. -
Drag & Drop of a file not working in Ubuntu & other linux
Hi All,
I am working on a project,in which it has the requirement of dragging the files
from a JList present inside a JFrame to the desktop.
First I tried to get a solution using dnd API but could not. Then i googled and i got an application which is
working perfectly in both Windows and MAC Operating systems, after I made few minor changes to suit my requirements.
Below is the URL of that application:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1204580/swing-application-drag-drop-to-the-desktop-folder
The problem is the same application when I executed on Ubuntu, its not working at all. I tried all available options but could not trace out the exact reason.
Can anybody help me to overcome this issue?
Thanks in advanceHi,
With the information you provided and through some information found on google i coded an application. This application is able to do the drag and drop of an item from the Desktop to Java application on Linux Platform, but i am unble to do the viceversa by this application.
I am including the application and the URL of the information i got.
