Drag-n-Drop problem in DataGrid with custom ItemRenderer

Question

Hi,
I am trying to use a DataGrid to set the ordering of a group
of images.
I want to do this with a DataGrid which will show me some
properties of
the images in different columns including a thumbnail of the
image. The
problem is when I use any custom renderer for any column, the
draging is
not working. It works fine when I don't use any ItemRenderer.
My code looks something like this:
<mx:DataGrid dragEnabled= "true" dropEnabled= "true"
dragMoveEnabled= "true">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Thumb" itemRenderer=
"component. GridImageRenderer"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Current name" width="100"
itemRenderer= "component. NameRenderer" />
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="New name" width="150"
dataField="nameNew" />
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
Can anyone please give me any clue how to fix this?
Regards,
~ Arif

Hello again, BinaryDigit.
I thought we need to apply Drag n drop API for this case.
Without wasting too much time,
I tried out as your source code from the previous reply,,,
Instead of getting it clearly, I got another Confusion... (pardon me)
Let me clarify this with the examples given,
I try to adopt previous source code
and it was this detail;
1) Taking the X and Y coordinate (from the mouseEvent) Plus jLabel1 coordinate (both X and Y).
2) Positioning a Coordinate taken to JLabel1
3) Passing the Coordinate taken to jLabelX, and jLabelY.
The problem found was;
if we make 3rd become comments, now the jLabel1
could works!
I mean, jLabel1 could be dragged to another Coordinate (by dragging it to another location)
But,
if we un-comments the 3rd source code,
The effect would be no movement of the jLabel1.
BinaryDigit, is this related to the layout you mentioned before?
Correct, DarrylBurke! :D
I thought also the same thing,
but setLocation() give me another Confusion....
the coordinate seems taking its basement as a reference.
I mean, the jLabel Coordinate's is referenced
from the panel where the jLabel is attached to,
rather than the Coordinate's of the base jFrame (main base -what should I call this?)
Sorry, the Details number three (3) is my preference, Since I wanted to see the X, Y movements also.
