Help with this ... using drag and drop

Hi guys,
I'm an intermediate user of Flash, but I'm stuck ... I'm
trying to see if I can recreate this page in Flash for a friend
(it's an awful site!):
Mannequin
There are two ways I thought I could do this ... as they've
done it, you cycle through the items, click on an item and it will
appear in a hierarchy on the mannequin ... or as I've tried to
attempt it, by dragging the item onto the mannequin.
This is EXTREMELY rough as I just wanted to see if it could
be done before designing it all, so it's stick men I'm afraid! I've
got two movieclips on the stage, one is the console and one is the
mannequin. The console contains items of clothing which are each
movieclips placed in their own frame, back and forward buttons and
an add button (ignore that button).
I've managed to set it up so that the item of clothing
duplicates and you can drag it onto the mannequin. I have two
problems ... the mannequin goes back to normal when I go through
the items in the console and the items in the console appear on top
of each other as you flick through (probably because of the
duplicatemovie command).
I want to be able to drag each item, establish a hierarchy on
the mannequin (e.g. so a jacket will go over a top) ... I've
searched this forum for drag and drop info and have seen references
to specifying a target, but I'm stuck. I've got a feeling I'm on
the right lines, but I've either laid it out wrong on the stage or
I'm missing a vital piece of actionscript ... Please can anyone
advise??? Thanks

Hi,
It would help if you could give some more details:
- what are you trying to do (drag and drop a whole component, drag an item within a tree, or a table, drag an item from one component to another?)
- have you found the modules you need in the unbound modules?
- have you read the documentation about the drag and drop actions? can you say which parts you're having problems with? The documentation is here. You'll have to select the component you are interested in and locate the action "drag" and the action "drop" to read about the parameters required.
Best regards,
Alex

Help with Basics! Dragging and dropping clips

Good Morning! I've been frustrating myself for weeks just trying to get started. I've uploaded all my video clips through a firewire connection and they look fine. However, when I simply want to drag and drop a clip into the timeline it doesn't work. I have tried it on both the clip and the timeline viewer and have tried cropped and uncroppd videos clips. HELP! I thought this was the easy part. I even have a book, video and online help, but everything says simply "drag and drop clip" Any help is welcome. Thanks! Quail

Hi Matthew:
Maybe he could try deleting the iMovie preference files? Seems to fix some of the strangest of problems at times-do you agree?
Quail:
Try deleting the imovie preference file. Locate a file named com.apple.imovie.plist and get rid of it. Then empty the trash, run a permissions repair with disk utility and restart. That should do it. The files you need to delete are found in:
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist

How do i drag indicator control type on WPF instead of using Drag and Drop points

In my WPF application, i have a window which is docked with the screen. i want to automate to expand the window using an Indicator control type, by sliding it. As of now i use StartDrag and StopDrag using specific points, which is not correct when it runs
in many other screens.
Could you please let me know, is there way to slide the control (to set window display size to viewable) without using drag and drop action using points.

Hi Pavithra,
>> As of now i use StartDrag and StopDrag using specific points, which is not correct when it runs in many other screens.
To really understanding this issue, could you share us what you mean by ”which is not correct”? It would be much helpful if you could share us a screen shoot about your UI and your issue.
>> Could you please let me know, is there way to slide the control (to set window display size to viewable) without using drag and drop action using points
Do you mean that the control of the WPF is invisible and you want to set the window display size to make it visible? If so, I think you could use the Mouse.MoveScrollWheel Method to change the windows view until the control is visible. The link below might
be useful to you:
# CodedUI cann't find the controls outside the screen view, Mouse.MoveScrollWheel doesn't work too

If I misunderstood you, please feel free to let me know.

Images resizing when using drag and drop

We just recently got PS Elements 7. I have a blank image that is sized at 600 x 1662 pixels. When I want to put a photo into that blank, I make sure that the photo is 600 pixels high. With 6, what I used drag and drop from the bin, the photo fit perfectly. With 7 it is apparently resizing the photo and I have to stretch it to fit. Is this something that I have set wrong? If I am making sure that both items should fit together based on number of pixels, why is one changing size? Something has to be changing size or the items would fit together. I am assuming that something is set wrong, because this just does not strike me a something that should happen, or the program is not a very efficient photo editor. If necessary I will go back to 5.0, although there are things that I like better in 7.
jean @ buffaloworks

I'm frankly surprised you had success with this in PSE 6, since the past two versions create a special kind of smart object from images dragged up from the bin. You can use copy/paste to create a regular layer, or you can drag down to a thumbnail in the bin from an open image, but the project bin doesn't let you drag up anymore, by design.
Did you mean to say PSE 5 rather than 6? It worked normally there.

When moving a file using drag and drop, as I hover over the destination folder it no longer opens, so I can't drop the file into the folder. Why?

When moving a file using drag and drop, as I hover over the destination folder it no longer opens, so I can't drop the file into the folder. Why? I have a heirarchical embedded folder structure under \Documents. Usually, as I drag the file to be moved over the various folders, they will blink twice, then expand/open to reveal contents (in Finder). Now, when the file to be moved is held (hovering) over the destination folder, it will not blink or expand, so there's no place to drop the file. If I release the mouse button, the file image disappears, showing that it is "going back to the place it came from", a.k.a. was not moved. This just started happening. I noticed it after upgrading to Mavericks. Is this a bug or could anything else be causing this?

As of today, Apple Support discovered during a remote support session with me that the same thing happens on their own system. It is isolated to "Column View"; the Icon and List views in Finder behave correctly. Issue is being escalated to engineering, and Apple will call to report status in a couple days. In all likelihood, this is a bug that will need to be addressed in a future update.

Transfering files using drag and drop to Nano P

I havent installed the supplied disks that came with my Nano Plus but am transfering files using drag and drop from "my music" folder on my computer to the Nano. These files are stored on my computer as the Name of the Artist as the folder name with a sub folder named the CD title (default setting when using Windows media to rip) with the individual track files in that folder.
When I drag the main folder over to my Nano it just displays the Album title on the screen but not by artist and there is no way to select by artist (you can just switch "folders" on the Nano which will then display the CD title. If I used the supplied software with my Nano to transfer the files will I be able to choose by artist, CD, Genre, etc or is this not a function of the Nano?
Is it best to just select the individual song tracks and throw them in one large group on the Nano and then it can figure out which artist, album, genre they belong to?

The player will only show directories that contain music files.
The behaviour you want is common on players that manage their content with a database (typically HD-based devices), but Creative's flash players don't work that way (and the software used on the host computer doesn't have any influence on this - the user interface is controlled by the player's firmware).

Why am I having trouble importing vCards? I follow the Help Center instructions by dragging and dropping, but some don't sync into the cloud. And why can't I drag multiple vCards? I have over 4,000. Please tell me I don't have to do one at a time?

You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system. These can automatically back up only what's changed since the previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX. You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
#27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.

Programatic Generation and positioning of components using Drag and Drop

Hi,
I am relatively new to ADF and UI Designing. Im trying to generate a flowchart using drag and drop feature in ADF. This involves creation of dragging images such as start,decision .. etc from one panel to another and dynamically creating a flowchart.
Up to now i have managed to drag images from panel1 to panel2 and create them dynamically in the bean class. However im stuck at this point .. Im not able to position the draggable components on the desired position in the panelGroup. They either appear horizontally or vertically.
Is there any way to achieve this. Also is it possible to assign a dropTarget to a a target component which is created dynamically ?
Thanks in anticipation ....
Lyle

Hi Lyle,
I am too only 4 months old to adf ,i use jdeveloper 10g.
In 10g for the components to be placed at desired locations i think is somewhat possible. While you can arrange them by using spaces which causes
f:verbatim tag to appear or you can use ADF Faces Core items like Object Spacer and Object Seperator where you can set their length and width to space objects on page...

DataGrid with TextArea in itemRenderer using drag and drop

I have a DataGrid and in one of the columns I am using an itemRenderer, in this itemRenderer I have a spark textArea, with this textArea I am have scrolling enabled. Also with this dataGrid I have drag enabled (for drag/drop).
I am seeing two problems if anyone has any suggestions:
1. When you try to scroll the textArea, dragging kicks in, so you get partial scrolling then dragging.
2. Using the up/down symbols of the scroller, the scrollbar moves but the text in the dataGrid cell does not.
Thanks,
John
This is the itemRenderer:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:VBox xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo"
implements="mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer">
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;
import mx.controls.listClasses.BaseListData;

private var thisTextFlow:TextFlow;
public function get listData():BaseListData
return _listData;
public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void
_listData = value;
override public function set data(value:Object):void
if (value != null)
super.data = value;
thisTextFlow = TextConverter.importToFlow(data[(listData as DataGridListData).dataField], TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT);
dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE));

editable="false" borderVisible="false"
width="100%"
contentBackgroundAlpha="0"
heightInLines="4"
verticalScrollPolicy="auto" horizontalScrollPolicy="auto"/>
</mx:VBox>

Below is code that is working and is re-usable, and if a textArea has a visible scrollbar than when that scrollbar has mouse down/up it sets the dataGrid to dragEnable = false/true to take care of the problem with the textArea dragging and scrolling at the same time.
One minor thought/issue is:
1. The size of this renderer using both a VBox and a textArea - but I wanted a scrollable text area that handles textflow.

Erratic zooming in and out using drag and drop to copy.

While using the drag and drop to copy method in AI 18.0(and17) there is erratic zooming in and out behavior.
I've called Adobe and Apple about this issue and it still remains. I've also tried the Hot Fix download but the problem still remains.
I'm using an iMac with OS 10.9.4 and the Magic Mouse.
Please help! Thanks in advance.
Dennis, DB Signs

When I click and hold on a selection then drag it holding down the option key to copy it, when I release the mouse where I want it to be copied it zooms in or out(radically) once or several times and usually copies the selected item to a different place then I wanted it to.
Now I’ve noticed that if I don’t touch the side of the mouse(keeping only one finger on the top of the mouse) I don’t have the issue.
Thank You, Dennis Burns, DB Signs

Moving answers in a quiz once they have been matched to a target in using drag and drop

Hi,
I am having a problem with some of my drag and drop quizzes that I'm wondering if anyone you might be able to help me with?
In some drag and drop quizzes I have created, using the Infosemantics drag and drop light widget in Captivate 5.5, I can move the answer after having matched it to a target but before submittting. Whereas in some quizzes I have created, the answers get stuck and do not let me move the answers after I have matched them to a target, even though I haven't submitted. This leaves me no choice but to clear all my answers and start again if I have made a mistake.
Please can you tell me how to enable the answers to move even after they have been placed on a target?

Emma,
Take a look at the troubleshooting tips on this page from the Infosemantics website:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/drag-and-drop/troubleshooting-widg et-issues
Pay particular attention to the section entitled: "My drag and drop question works correctly sometimes, but not other times. "
From the appearance of your slide, it looks like you may have removed some of the components from the quiz slide that are necessary for it to function correctly. Try the test that this section of the troubleshooting suggests so that you can see if this is the case. If it turns out that you have deleted some items, you'll need to recreate your quiz slide to get them back again.
Hope this helps.

More info on using drag and drop in AS3?

I have coded a basic drag and drop using a rope .jpg saved as an mc. the idea is to have the user drag the rope from left to right using the mouse down and up functions. I was able to do this but I'm trying to add to the functionality by doing the following:
dragging limited to a certain amount per drag
no dragging up or down just left to right
set boundries within the screensize
I've looked and could only find as2 and basic tutes on this
here is what I have so far
any help?
ropeclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, ropedrag);
ropeclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, ropedrop);
function ropedrag(e:MouseEvent):void
ropeclip_mc.startDrag();
function ropedrop(e:MouseEvent):void
ropeclip_mc.stopDrag();
RD

Hi,
Along with your code add this code to specify the dragging limited.
var sbound:Rectangle = new Rectangle(x,y,width,height);
x states x position of the drag object starts.
y states y position of the drag object starts.
width states width of the drag object.
height states height of the drag object
ropeclip_mc.startDrag(true,sbound);
Try this.

Using drag and drop in remote desktop on windows server 2008

we running an application on windows server 2008 terminal services .. this application was support drag and drop functionality .. i understand that terminal services on windows 2008 is supported to drag and drop but is not happening !! even when i run remote desktop connection on this server the drag and the drop is not working !
i need to enable the drag and drop for windows 2008 terminal services ..
Thanks in advance

Hello Ayman,
If your requirement is to drag and drop files between local and remote sessions, Danny is right. Drag-and-drop feature is not supported in Windows Server 2008-based Terminal Server, which is a by-design behavior hard-coded in the current version of the Remote Desktop Protocol.
As a workaround, I recommend you to use copy-and-paste function instead of drag-and-drop. To enable the copy-and-paste between local and remote session, please enable the clipboard redirection in Windows Server 2008-based RDC. (In Windows Server 2003 environment, local drive redirection is needed.)
Hope it helps. Thanks.
Best Regards,
Lionel Chen
