Dragging VI position not working

I want to be able to "drag" a VI around (basically move it like in Windows), but the result is very jittery and doesn't seem to be moving correctly (not getting a 1-1 ratio with my mouse position). Any suggestions? VI is attached
Edit: I'm an idiot. I was using "panel" mouse coords, not absolute coords... I have programmed before - I promise.
Solved!

It seems to work better when you acquire the mouse position on the monitor as opposed to the mouse position on the front panel. Also the program seemed to function better whe the front panel position was acquired everytime the mouse went down. See if this functions better.

Why does drag and drop not work?

Why does drag and drop not work?

Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

Drag and drop not working. When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program. Happens in finder numbers and firefox

Drag and drop not working. When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program. Happens in finder numbers, firefox, and when trying to move any file from the downloads folder.
This is a serious pain.
Please help.

Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".
You can file feedback here.

Drag and Drop not working since last software update

Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving an icon on the doc and the same thing occured. YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Powers Mid 2010 5.1 running 10.10.3, drag and drop not working smoothly, won't engage to drag. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the return, well, just trying to relocate a web screen or move a saved application from the desktop into a folder. I use Final Cut Pro Ten extensively and sometimes I want to drag something off my desktop into the time line on the FCPX. When I left click and hold on the item to drag it doesn't seem to engage then when it does move it quits along the way to the drop point. I hope that makes since too you? I use a Logitech two button with a scroll wheel wired mouse and have twin 32" monitors. Thanks Latranner

I want to rearrange images/files position in their folders. Drag & drop does not work

I have just bought Elements 12. Great programme. I used to use Picasa 3, a good free programme. In Picasa it is easy to move images around in their folders by simply click, drag and drop. This does not work in elements. Is it possible to achieve this somehow?
Thanks for any advice. Linehill

Hi,
You can't do it with folders but you can if you use Albums.
Folders can only be in Date or Name order. Albums have the additional setting of Album Order - see the Sort By field at the top.
If you right click on a folder name, you can select Create an instant Album. This will create an album with the same name as the folder. Select the album and make sure that Sort by is set to Album Order and you can do drag and drop to re-order the images.
Hope that helps
Brian

Why is Transform Tool "reverse position" not working??

Hi.. I have a part that I want to reverse the pitches of so that I can record it as audio and then reverse it so that it is a reversed version of the sound, yet it's playing the right pitches at the proper time...
I was under the impression that the transform tool could do this, however it is not working for me. Could some please enlighten me to my error?
Here is a video of my efforts:
http://collinatorstudios.com/video/transform.mov
-patrick

Nevermind.. I found this thread, where someone already brought this up.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=762890
Someone said:
"Position
Time position of the event, referenced to the start of the MIDI Region (not of the song)."
as silly as that is (if it's true), it still doesn't work when I set it to "all"... It only works if I drag the part to the beginning of the song...
Apple should really hire me to help them fix this program.. (sigh).

Scrollbar positions not working

i got a tree like structure in jsp as
Root
--- Node1
---- ChildNode1
--- Node2
---- ChildNode1
---- ChildNode2
--- Node3
---- ChildNode1
--- ChildNode1.1
--- ChildNode1.2
---- ChildNode2
.......and so on
this is a dynamic tree . on click on each node the page is refreshed and the below child nodes are retrieved form the database.
its all are working fine but my bug is on chicking on the each node, the page goes to the top again and again i ve to scroll down to position of the node what i have to do to hold on the scroll bar position where it is for the previous page.
ive used ScrollTo() but its moving and again it goes to the top automatically wat to do

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already looked before and
after page 6, nothing has changed. I've been trying to create a new
scrollbar with the instructions from the help on the UIScrollBar
component, but the arrows on the scroll bar don't show up.
I have the text in the text box showing up and changing with
each page. But the scroll bars are not working. Here is the AS I
have on frame 1:
NarrativeText_bottom = narrative_text[_root.CurrentPgNumber];
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.UIScrollBar, "my_sb");
my_sb.setScrollTarget(InstanceName_0);
my_sb.setSize(16,InstanceName_0._height);
my_sb.move(NarrativeText_bottom =
narrative_text[_root.CurrentPgNumber];
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.UIScrollBar, "my_sb");
my_sb.setScrollTarget(InstanceName_0);
my_sb.setSize(16,InstanceName_0._height);
my_sb.move(InstanceName_0._x + InstanceName_0._width,
InstanceName_0._y);
// Load text to display and define onData handler.
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onData = function(src:String) {
if (src != undefined) {
InstanceName_0.text = src;
} else {
InstanceName_0.text = "Error loading text.";
._x + InstanceName_0._width, InstanceName_0._y);
// Load text to display and define onData handler.
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onData = function(src:String) {
if (src != undefined) {
InstanceName_0.text = src;
} else {
InstanceName_0.text = "Error loading text.";
When I drag the component to the side of the text box, the
instance name for the text field (InstanceName_0) automatically
populates the _targetInstanceName property of the component, like
it's supposed to. So why are the arrows on the scroll bar not
showing up?? PLEASE HELP! thanks.

Key Command troubles: Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position not working?

Hello,
I'm simply trying to find a key command that will allow me to move regions quickly from one part of a song to another without dragging with them with the mouse in the arrange window. I thought I found the solution with the key command "Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position", however it doesn't seem to be doing anything!
Here's what I've tried: First I select the region I want to move, then I move my SPL to a location using the "go to Position" key command and typing in a bar. I then try to use the "Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position" key command (which I set to Shift-Control-L) and nothing happens. Shouldn't it be moving my region to the SPL? Note: the region is still selected, but refuses to move. Am I doing something wrong? Is this not what this key command was designed to do?
In my attempts to get the darn thing to work, I also discovered that lock screen-set (Shift-L) key command also does not seem to work (it is not toggling the black dot after the screen-set number like usual). Does this mean my key commands may be corrupted? (which would be a real drag!!) Oddly enough, these are the two are the only two that do not seem to be working, as all others seem to be working fine (AFAIK).
I've had this problem in the past with the lock screen-set key command not working, and rebuild all key commands and templates when I upgraded to tiger. I thought everything was working fine!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!!

I assigned F5 to two functions. In the key commands
window, pressing F5 highlighted the first assignment.
Pressing it again highlighted the second assignment.
So just keep pressing the key to see whether it's
assigned to more than one command...
Well, now when I type "Shift-L" into the finder in the top right of the key commands window, no key commands at all are show. However, which I search for the word "lock," the lock screenset key command comes up as "Shift-L." Oddly, if I search any other key commands (such as F1, "cmd-k," or even other shift ones like "shift-," the associated key commands show up.
To test, I changed the screen set lock from Shift-L to "opt-ctrl-L" and it now works again. However, it still will not come up in the key commands window through searching by "opt-ctrl-L"
On what may be a side note, the search feature seems very buggy! Tell me if I'm doing this right: First I open the key commands window, which opens with nothing selected. Now, in order to search by key command I go up to the top right corner where the magnifying glass is, place my curser inside and type in the key command correct? When I do this, it shows me the highlighted key command in the left, and my curser is no longer flashing up in the magnifying glass, correct?
Now, in order to search again, I have to place my curser in the search field again, right? However, now when I search by key command, not all of them register! For example, my "go to position" key command is simply ; but when I type it, nothing comes up in the search, and instead of the magnifying glass window being blank like before, the actual ; is in the box. Oddly enough, searching with "Cmnd-K" still works!
What is going on? Am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this, as it is very frustrating!! thanks again for your help

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.

HELP! Why does my Drag and Drop not work Completely?

Hello! I'm working on an ActionScript 3 movie clip in Adobe Flash. In the interactive movie I want the user to create a snowman with the parts on the left side. (Picture below.)
On the right side I have the snowman slightly visible, so the user knows where to put the parts. Most of it seems to work... but after I put on the body, hat, and arms the other pieces don't work; like the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. Why does it not work? Can someone help me?
This is how it should look at the end, when the user complets it.
I think I coded this correctly. But I'm not sure. Please take a look at my code and see what the problem is. Thanks!!!

Drag and Drop not working in iPhoto

I have a brand new MacBook Pro running Lion, and recently when I try to drag and drop in iPhoto, it stops working. I want to drag photos from iPhoto to a folder on my desktop in order to upload those pictures online. I have never had a problem with drag and drop in Snow Leopard, but suddenly Lion does not want to let me do it.
I checked around and found out about repair permissions, which I did, then I restarted the computer. Drag and Drop worked for a few minutes, then all the sudden it wouldn't let me again. I was in the same album, trying to drag and drop the same group of pictures, and nothing had changed when it just stopped working again. I really don't want to have to restart the computer EVERY time it wont let me do this. Does anyone have any other advice? Command copy/paste works for now, but drag and drop is just easier so I'd like to get the issue resolved! Oh, and my software is completely up to date as well.

Does anybody have any ideas?
I've updated to the new version of iTunes since I originally posted this,
but the drag and drop feature is still not working. This is making it
impossible for me to update anything on my iPod.
Thanks!

Derek,IE11 is having some compatibility issues with the share point.Apart from IE11,it should work on IE10,9 and Firefox and chrome as well.
Please check the links below that explains the issues with IE11 and the functionality of Drag and drop and limitations as-well.
1.Since SharePoint 2013 fully support IE 32-bit version above 7, there might be compatibility issue with other browsers. I’d recommend you use IE 8,9,10 32-bit for optimal Performance.
2. Open the same document library in Internet Explorer as this functions does not work with Firefox or Chrome by default
3. Make sure the IE (Internet Explorer) Version should be 32-bit and not a 64-bit

Drag-n-Drop not working (Finder and within apps)

while using machine, after about 15 minutes or so, Drag-n-Drop stops working....in Finder and within all apps. Cant' move files within Finder; can't highlight text and move it within an app, can't D-n-D photos; nothing
it takes either a system restart, or logout of user, then log back in as user and D-n-D is restored.
But, it works for about 15 minutes or so, again...then stops functioning.
Happens repeatedly, doesn't matter what apps I'm using, or even using any apps at all...just power up machine....move a few files...let it sit for a while and do nothing, and then D-n-D stops working again.
This is very annoying...and makes Leopard almost useless, since I can't manipulate anything with the mouse.
HHHHEEELLLPPP!!!!!!

I am having the same problem. Even restarting does not work, i am using a jail iphone 3gs, not sure if thats got anything to do with it?
Anyone help, the only way i can get albums etc to add is to sync and that messing all kinds up.
