How can I find the node I am dragging over during MouseDragged ?

It seems that while dragging you only get MouseDragged events on the node where the drag originated. I have a situation where a drag starts on one node and ends on another.. I am having a lot of trouble finding a reasonable way to get the node where the drag leads to.
E.g. imagine a UI where I am dragging a "connection" from one node to another. I can't use Drag and Drop (which otherwise would report DragEntered andDragExited events), because during a Drag and Drop I don't get any MouseMoved or MouseDragged events, so I can't draw my connection line interactively.
I was hoping I could get MouseEntered and Exited events somehow during the MouseDrag, but they aren't delivered, and even attaching an EventFilter to the nodes in question didn't work. During the drag all events are reported on the listener registed with the source of the drag, but in the drag event even the event Target is set to the same value as the event Source, regardless of what the mouse is dragged over during the operation.
If there is no way to get the need events, is there a built-in way to get the "deepest" node in a scene given the scene coordinates?
Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for the response.
I really think that having target nodes involved with the press-drag-release gesture is important. It seems broken the way it is now. As soon as a drag of any sort begins (MouseDragged, or Drag-and-Drop) suddenly a lot of useful information is unavailable. Why not set the target of the MouseDragged event to what the mouse is actually over? Currently, one the drag is initiated the source and target are fixed forever and no other events are available to find what the mouse is hovering over. (Hmm.. I should check if even the "hover" state is changed on components,as I want my CSS to indicate that a node is the intended destination of the connection that I'm dragging)
The other ugly bit is that now I have to get other objects involved in the operation, whereas before I could just attach event handlers to my nodes, now I need to have a parent involved just so I can see where the mouse is going. I also need to deal with the mouse cursor, which will be giving the user bad feedback, that a drag and drop is happening, when that's not really the concept that I want to convey.

  • How can i find the adobe form translations

    Hi Friends,
    how can i find the adobe form translations?
    i mean i want to know in how many languages my adobe form has been translated?
    is their any report or is their any technique to find the translations........................
    Thanks,
    Harish.K

    Hello Harish,
    To find the translation of Adobe form is nothing but to find the labels or texts used in this adobe form in various languages. This will give you an idea on how many languages your adobe form has been translated.
    So to find the translations in different languages, you have to go to Context node of the Adobe form. Then go through the text nodes which are used as labels. These will be normally stored as Standard texts in SO10.
    For example. Take the text name of any one text node.
    1) Go to SE38.
    2) Type program RSTXTRAN.
    3) Let the Text key - object be TEXT.
    4) Then enter this text name in the field Text key - name. I have put the sample standard text ZTEST_ADOBE as shown below.
    5) Let the Text key - ID be ST.
    6) In Text key - language, Enter *  (i.e enter the Asterisk) because you want to find out all the languages.
    The screen parameters will be as shown below.
    7) Now Execute this report.
    8) It will show all the various languages in which this particular standard text is used which is nothing but the Adobe form is being used in these many languages. For example, the standard text ZTEST_ADOBE is used in 3 languages, English, German and Spanish as shown below. It will look as shown below.
    Note: This will give you the more or less the overall idea of the form that has been used in these many languages. But also make sure the standard text with particular language is also linked with the Transport Request. Because there are chances that the text was created in a particular language but was never used.

  • How can I find the URL for an iCal calendar in iCloud so I can make a link to it on a web page.

    I have a single iCal calendar that I want people to access through my webpage.  How can I find the URL so that they can view the calendar without having to subscribe to it.  I converted to iCloud from .Mac and I can see that changes to this calendar are not showing up.

    Mmmh.. i see... I don't know wether it is possible for people just check calendars without subscribing to them... I have been sharing some calendars in my website (maybe you can have a look at it in order to check wether it could be a possible solution for you)

  • How can I find the location of an app on my iPad 2?

    How can I find the location of an app on my iPad 2? The app comes up with a search, but that seems to be the only way to find it. I just installed the app today, but I can't figure out where it is. It has a pretty distinctive icon, and I've looked through all of my apps and even in folders (even though I don't know how it would have gotten there). I want to put it in an appropriate folder under the right subject, but I can't find it to do this. I can use the app, since I can find it through a search though. I have a lot of apps, but I looked very carefully and can't find it. Is there a way to ask my iPad to locate it for me? It's a $25 app and one I plan to use regularly, so I want it located in the folder of my choice.This problem makes we wonder if I have other "missing" apps, apps that I could  find if I happened to think to search for them, but that don't appear to be on my iPad (even though they actually  are).

    You were right about the homescreens. I had turned my iPad off for the night with less than three full homescreens of loose apps, those not in folders. When I turned the iPad on this morning to try your suggestions, I had five full pages of loose apps. They just appeared when I restarted, and there was the app I was looking for, easy to find. Last night I was deleting apps I decided I wouldn't use, organizing useful apps into folders, and making sure I had as few pages as needed by making sure the gaps made by the moved/deleted apps were closed. The missing apps didn't show up at that point; I was just left with fewer than 11 pages. The apps only showed up when I restarted this morning. There were almost three extra pages of apps that weren't there last night. I know there must be other things missing, since all of the pages are full. So I tried your suggestion in iTunes. I connected my iPad, found an app in the alphabetical list on the left, and double clicked it. This brought me to the app's homescreen (and its home folder when applicable), the place where it was located. In order to identify which page that was, I had to scroll through the screen shots of the homescreens that was below the homescreen that was showing until I found the homescreen whose number was in white. Then I could count the pages on my iPad until I got to that page. I'll have to delete more apps and organize more into folders to see what else might show up. There are just too many apps available for special education, and I'm in the process of figuring out which are the best for my needs. Thanks so much!

  • Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

  • How can I find the index from a specific container?

    How can I find the index from a specific container?
    For example, if I'm traversing through textframes like so (an example, not tested):
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var story = doc.pages[0].textFrames[0].parentStory;
    for (var i=0, l=story.textContainers.length; i<l; i++) {
         var textFrame = story.textContainers[i];
         if (textFrame.constructor.name == "TextFrame") {
              var lastPara = textFrame.paragraphs.lastItem();        //How can I find the index of this in relation to the story?
    How can I find the index of "lastPara" in relation to the story rather than the current container?
    I tried:
    var newPara = story.paragraphs[lastPara.index];
    but this results in an invalid object. . .
    alert(newPara.isValid);      //returns false

    The .index property is the character offset. So lastPara will begin at story.characters[lastPara.index].

  • I had 2 games of clash of clans on 1 game centre.  Now I can only see one?  How can I find the other one?

    My kids had 2 games of clash of clans on 1 game centre.  Now I can only see one?  How can I find the other one?
    My daughter set up a game centre on her ipad.  My son, on his ipad used the same game centre log in.  He then set up his own game of clash of clans.  After my son set up his Clash of Clans, my daugher set up her own Clash of Clans using the same game centre log in on her ipad.  Both were using the Clash of Clans successfully on their own ipads using the same game centre log in. 
    One day my son signed into someone elses Clash of Clans, since then he is unable to go back to his Clash of Clans and can only see his sisters.
    Please let me know if this can be resolved.
    We wish to delete my daughters Clash of Clans - as she does not use it at all.  We would like to regain access to my sons. 
    My son can visit his Clash of Clans - his clan name is 'The Big Boys'  He has a shield that is blue with a yellow lightning from top right to bottom left.  His name is Fat Poo (I know ridiculous).
    If you can help us or advise us what to do we would make my son very happy
    thanks

    Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.
    I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.
    My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.
    I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.

  • How can i find the installed forms version in 6i...?

    Dear all,
    How can i find the installed forms version in 6i, the situation is we have given a solution which will work in only forms6i latest version, before implementing the same we need to check whether the forms latest version has been installed or not
    Is there any way to find out without opening the forms builder..?
    Even if we un install the forms from a machine, the forms60_path variable will remain in regedit, so we cannot go based on that and aslo i dont know whether regedit will have the version details and all.
    It would be greatly appreciated if any one can give a solution.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Thangaraj.

    you query the registry, the registry has the version number saved, but I cannot remember exactly where and I don't have 6i Installed on my machine.
    You just open the Forms Builder and click on Help/About.
    But Jan's method is the best.
