How to drag and drop another swf or fla into a template?
I am building a flash website for a friend. We are using templates he purchased at flashden.net.
I normally use wordpress, joomla and other such systems and am familiar with html, php, cgi and such.
This is my first time dealing with a flash template.
I have downloaded the trial version of the software and he wants to purchase adobe flash professional for me
So that we can edit the template and add features he wants in the future.
The website that sells the templates says you can easily drag and drop addons to templates in flash
but I am not finding it so easy. Is there somewhere online where I can find a tutuorial on how to step by step
drag and drop flash files into another template etc.?
Also, where can I find good tutorials in general? I have downloaded adobe flash for dummies it is not as indepth as I need
to get a handle on this software.
Thank you to anyone that offers me any advice,
David Doherty
Ned,
Thank you for responding.
Flashden.net does claim its a simple drag and drop operation to do this but they have little to know information on the site about the subject and
having difficulty with the sellers on step by step instructions. They claim it's easy it may be.
The person I am building the website for had a bad experience with one of the sellers who refused to offer anything but basic instructions and claimed the cost of the software was not worth his time.
Here are the instructions that were provided:
Open news_rotator.fla
Go to library.
Select and copy NewsRotator movie clip.
Paste it into your own project’s library.
Now, you can drag and drop it into your own movie clips.
Use news.xml to add/remove headlines.
As you can see from what your telling me this is insufficent information on how to drag and drop this flash into another flash template.
I will attempt to contact other selers at flashden for information as I have other flash templates we have purchased.
Thank you,
David Doherty

How to drag and drop tab nodes between tab panes
I'm working on example from this tutorial( Drag-and-Drop Feature in JavaFX Applications | JavaFX 2 Tutorials and Documentation ). Based on the tutorial I want to drag tabs between two tabs. So far I managed to create this code but I need some help in order to finish the code.
Source
tabPane = new TabPane();
Tab tabA = new Tab();
Label tabALabel = new Label("Main Component");
tabPane.setOnDragDetected(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
@Override
public void handle(MouseEvent event)
/* drag was detected, start drag-and-drop gesture*/
System.out.println("onDragDetected");
/* allow any transfer mode */
Dragboard db = tabPane.startDragAndDrop(TransferMode.ANY);
/* put a string on dragboard */
ClipboardContent content = new ClipboardContent();
content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);
db.setContent(content);
event.consume();
What is the proper way to insert the content of the tab as object? Into the tutorial simple text is transferred. How I must modify this line content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);?
And what is the proper way to insert the tab after I drag the tab:
Destination
tabPane.setOnDragDropped(new EventHandler<DragEvent>()
@Override
public void handle(DragEvent event)
/* data dropped */
/* if there is a string data on dragboard, read it and use it */
Dragboard db = event.getDragboard();
boolean success = false;
if (db.hasString())
//tabPane.setText(db.getString());
Tab tabC = new Tab();
tabPane.getTabs().add(tabC);
success = true;
/* let the source know whether the string was successfully
* transferred and used */
event.setDropCompleted(success);
event.consume();
I suppose that this transfer can be accomplished?
Ref javafx 2 - How to drag and drop tab nodes between tab panes - Stack OverflowI would use a graphic (instead of text) for the Tabs and call setOnDragDetected on that graphic. That way you know which tab is being dragged. There's no nice way to put the Tab itself into the dragboard as it's not serializable (see https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-29082), so you probably just want to store the tab currently being dragged in a property.
Here's a quick example; it just adds the tab to the end of the current tabs in the dropped pane. If you wanted to insert it into the nearest location to the actual drop you could probably iterate through the tabs and figure the coordinates of each tab's graphic, or something.

How to drag and drop between portlets?
Howdy!
Could someone please be kind enough to show me how to drag and drop data between portlets. I want to select an icon, drag it to an application and launch the file associated with the icon in the application.

How to drag and drop a picture at run time in a window displaying pictures?
How to drag and drop a picture at run time in a window displaying pictures on the front panel. The main thing is that the window is displaying frames continuously?
vivman,
So from your description you have a picture control where you've already created an image and you'd like to drag an image around inside of the picture control. This can be done although it is going to take a significant amount of research and programming on your behalf. You can use the drag event in the event handler to find out when the drag occurs and where the cursor is. Then edit the picture as you move your mouse so that when you drop the picture gets updated.
The even structure is a somewhat advanced topic and the drag and drop feature is one of the more advanced uses of this structure. I would search the example finder (help>>find examples) for "event" and "drag" to see how to use these events. Also you'll want to look at the examples for the picture control.
Sounds like a cool project! Check out Darren's Weekly Nugget 10/30/2006 this topic (http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=212920). It might prove useful.

Thank you.Hello, if you had this message you had created BP....

3) Select assign button in the top of the functions in the transaction

Why can't I drag and drop images from the browser into other programs?
Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 4 (even after I upgraded again to Firefox 5) I have been unable to drag images from the browser into other programs, including MS Paint and IcoFx. I receive an error message stating that the file (the address given lists it as being located in the temporary files folder) cannot be found.
Prior to this I had always been able to conveniently drag and drop images for easy editing without having to save first and then open them. This feature is important to me, as I work with graphics very often, and is still available in Chrome and Internet Explorer. I love Firefox though, and hope that there is something I can do to fix the problem.I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
To resolve it from within Itunes I did : Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
Click OK.
Closed iTunes/
Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
Works fine now. -
I am using garage band for the first time. I dragged and dropped a song from itunes into the program and I want to extend the length of the song by repeating the first 28 measures.

How to drag and drop item from list to another item in list and change their positions
I have a list field with multiple items. I want to select one item from list and drag and drop to another item in the list
after drop item on another item the position of items should be change. (Example:- if I select 1st item from list and drag and drop this item to 4th item in list after drop that item position of both item should be changed 1st item on 4th position and 4th item on 1st position)
I don't know how to do this.Please help me to find the solution.Hello Zoltan,
I do not believe that kind of option is built into the listboxes, but I was able to have similiar functionalities using property nodes. I have included an example program that I put together.
The big difference is that instead of dragging, you double click on the item you want to transfer. To highlight items as you go down the list, all you need to do is set the value to that list number.
Hope this helps you out!
