ID CS6 drag and drop anchored object - unable to get blue square

Hi,
I am a long time and intensive user of CS.
A week ago or so, the blue square for dragging an anchored object disappeared.
I have to do it manually. Troublesome since I am in the process of producing a number of ebooks.
Any ideas? Thanks (I tried restarting the preferences, to no avail)
(I publish in the pdf section, I cannot see any epub section )

Hi has anyone an idea on this blue square question please? an adobe expert maybe? thanks a lot

Drag and dropping database objects in Jdev

I evaluated Visual Cafe and deciding wheather to go with VC or JDev. One of the cool things I noticed in VC is that one can drag and drop database objects in the form using DBNavigator. I haven't seen anything similar in JDev 3.1. Does this or something similar exist in JDev?
Regards,
Mark

Mark,
Yes, the DB Navigator in Visual Cafe may provide a nice simple look at the database Tables - but so does JDeveloper's Database Navigator - VC may excel in the Drag and Drop functionality - but this is not the real objective. Let me explain...
When creating a real enterprise level application in Visual Cafe, you begin to discover that DB Navigator along with it's nifty Drag & Drop is no match for JDeveloper's unprecedented level of database integration. JDeveloper's Database related integration includes (but not limited to):
- JDevelopers Database Navigator
- Integrated SQLJ environment
- Tight Business Components for Java (BC4J) integration
- Wizard driven Form generation (thin & thick)
- DAC Controls / InfoSwing components
- Named Connections / Connection Manager
- WebBeans / JSP Element Wizard
The closest thing in JDeveloper to what you are referring to in VC is JDeveloper's support for the Design mode which allows you to design both graphical and non-graphical elements. In particular, JDeveloper allows you to design your InfoSwing and InfoProducer components using the Designer - by selecting the component (JavaBean) from the Component Palette and then [Dragging Optional] Dropping it on either the Design Canvas or the Structure pane (lower pane of Navigator window).
For non-visual elements (such as InfoProducer elements), the Structure pane allows for Creation via Drag & Drop and allows for property setting by using the Property Inspector (Since it is a JavaBean...).
There are many reasons why JDeveloper provides a much richer and more productive development environment than Visual Cafe. Most have to do with seeking a complete enterprise level solution. JDeveloper adresses the enterprise level application developers needs directly with integration of elements from Tools & Wizards to the integration of a complete application development framework - Oracle Business Components for Java - No other tool can provide you with such a rich and productive development environment.

Fireworks CS6 Drag and Drop?

I recently got the Fireworks CS6 trial to just well...try it out. I was unable to drag and drop images on to the program, instead when I try to the cursor changes to an icon with a circle and a line going diagonally across it..Any solutions?

Are you dragging and dropping an image onto the canvas of an open document? Or are you dragging an image onto the application icon (e.g. in the dock) in order to open the file in Fireworks? I'm able to do both on Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
However, there's other ways to accomplish both of those tasks—for example, using File > Import or File > Open.

Possible Bug with Drag-and-Drop Being Published via HTML5 - Getting "Undefined" Error When Dragging Object

Hello,
I came up with a way to use drag-and-drop interactions that will take advantage of file input so that I may create a drag-and-drop interaction that uses one draggable object over and over allowing multiple scoring/tracking possibilities. Example use...is having the draggable object be dynamic in that it randomly changes its text so that a learner can drag a term it's possible classification.........thus allowing the possibility of having many terms easily loaded without having to redo a drag-and-drop interaction for each needed terms/classifications updates/changes.
My Issue: When using a variable to represent the text for a draggable Smart Shape object, I'm getting the error message "undefined" when, clicking/pressing on the object, as well as during the drag of the object. This issue occurs when publishing the project in an HTML5 format. Flash interestingly enough seems to work perfect...but we are not interested in publishing via Flash any longer.
To better help you explore this error message, I've set up a test project so that you can see when and how the "undefined" message shows up during a drag-and-drop interaction. I've also included the Captivate 8 project file used to make the exploration project I'm sharing in this post.
Link to Captivate project I created for you all to explore "undefined" error message": http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug/
Link to this Captivate 8 Project file: http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug.cptx
It's pretty interesting how things react in this demo, please try the following actions to see some interesting happenings:
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target.
Drag Black Hello square to Drag target and click undo or reset - watch the undefined message come up on the Yellow (or variable drag box).
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target and then use the undo or reset.
Move both draggable boxes to the drag target and use the undo and reset buttons...
Anyhow, I know you all are sharp and will run the demo through its paces.
I'd really be very honored if anyone help me figure out how I could (when publishing out to HTML5) no longer have the "undefined" error message show up when using drag-and-drop with a variable for shape text. This technique has been well received at the college I work at...and I have many future project requests for using such an idea on a variety of similar interactions. I'd love see a solution or see if this might be a bug Adobe may be able to fix!
I tried to find a solution to the issue documented here for quite some time, but I was not able to find anyone with this problem much less attempting the idea I'm sharing in the help request - save the darn "undefined" message that comes up!
Many thanks in advance for any help and/or direction that you all may be able to provide,
Paul

Hello,
I just wanted to supply a minor update related to my drag-and-drop question/issue stated above:
I did another test using Captivate 7, and found that the undefined error (publishing as HTML5) does not appear and the variable data remains visible - except the variable data turns very small and does not honor any font size related settings.
I did go ahead and submit this to Adobe as a possible bug today.
Thanks again for any help related to this issue. If the issued documented above is solved, it will allow many amazing things to be done using Captivate's drag-and-drop for both regular type projects as well as interaction development for iBooks!
Matter of fact if this issue gets fixed, I'll publish a Blog entry (or video) on way's I've used Captivate's drag-and-drop to create dynamic learning activities for Higher Ed. and for use in iBooks.

How realize drag and drop of object

Hi everybody,
I have a matter, I want to realise a
VI who makes drag and drop of indicator like a gauge for example.
For this I used an event structure to
manage the drag and drop. But the probleme is that with this solution
i must put the indicator in my program to set the properties node
(visible or position).
So the number of indicator that i can
drop and drag depend of the number of indicator that i declare in my
soft.
I want to know if there is an other
methode to do that.
Please find attached a VI to show you
my objectif.

Drag and drop custom object

Hello,
I am trying to create a GUI where the user will be able to drag an object (which I have created) from a toolbar button onto a JPanel. I have tried the sun tutorials to no avail. I am unsure exactly what code I should be writing to enable this functionality. I have written a dragmouseadapter which enables drag and drop from the button. I have also written a TransferHandler and Transferable for the object, but again I'm not sure how I should be using these. Can anyone advise me? Hopefully in a sort of step-by-step instruction for setting this up. Thank you.

You wanted to drag and drop a custom component and you said its done using dragmouseadapter!
TransferHandler and Transferable are used to transfer the data between the swing components.
Now, what you want to do? So, we can help!

Drag and drop data object not working in jdev 11.1.1.7

I am trying to do quote process lab and faced this issue.
When defining the user task parameter in jdev 11.1.1.7 i am not able to drag and drop the data object in parameter list section.

Infact i am trying to create a simple BPMN projoect but it doesn't allow the data object to be drag and dropped in the parameter list.
This same thing was working fine for me in Jdev 11.1.1.6,Is there a bug in jdeve 11.1.1.7 ? Has anyone tested with the latest release?

Drag and Drop 2 objects 1 target

I am fairly new to Flash and trying to create a drag and drop. I have been following the tutorial here (http://monkeyflash.com/tutorials/flash-drag-and-drop/). One change I made to this tutorial was to have the object disappear when it is dropped on the target. Following these directions I was able to successfully build a drag and drop with one object to one target. My question is what if I want to have multiple objects go to the same target? For example in the tutorial what if I added a second square object and wanted both to go to the one square target.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

As long as the target is still accessible as a target you can drag as many objects to as you want (one at a time). To help do that, when you drop an object on the target and make it disappear, you either need to make that dropped object go away ( removeChild(dropped) ) so that it is not blocking the way or move the target above the dropped object ( addChild(target) ).

Drag and Drop custom objects

Hi guys.
I just finished reading the Java tutorial on Drag and Drop at http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/index.html.
Unfortunately, there is no note about how to drag and drop a custon object. There is something said on DataFlavor, but not enough to help me.
So I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me the steps to follow when dragging and droping a custom object.
Best regards.
Edmond

I think we can help you, but please post some example/code of what you are trying to achieve.
I made D&D with custom objects, custom icons, etc. and is not so hard ... like I said, post some code ...

Drag and drop List Object[] collection

is it possible? If we combine JPA entities which are returned then we have to return List<Object[]> collection, e.g. some combination of the fields from Employees and Projects entities is returned by a service

Not sure what this question is pertaining to. Are you referring to the use of drag and drop in the context of ADF Faces RC with JPA? Or are you describing a design time issue with JPA? Please clarify.
Thanks,
RiC

Drag and Drop 3D Objects?

So I'm curious if anyone has an idea about this?
You cannoth use a Mesh as a DragView currently, so I figured I would created an instance of my object, and drag it once it enters the Target. I cannot find a way to automatically start a mouse press and have it move with the current operation.
I also cannot serialize TriangleMesh which I use in my Object to map it to a DataFormat.
I put up a Jira Report here https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-30209
but I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on this matter?
I figure the easiest way would being able to use a Mesh as a view, and be able to drag that mapped data. Granted even without the data I can set it up with DragDone to do what I need, but I would really love the Mesh as a DragView :).

I was thinking about taking a snapshot yesterday, thanks for the idea!
Sad to hear it doesn't work too well :(.
I'm using Imported 3D Mesh's from InteractiveMesh's Importer, I'm not sure how well it would work...
I also wanted to mention that DragView for a normal 2D Image didn't work if placed in DragOVer, and I believe DragEntered. if done in DragDetected it will display the image. IS this how it's supposed to be done? I potentially like the 3d mesh or an snapshot image to be shown when dropping over a target. Thoughts?

Drag and Drop / Movable Object

Dear All,
I am required to create an application which draws multiple objects and they are interconnected with arrows or lines. Furthermore, the objects must be able to be drag away from the rest with maintaining the arrows which link it to the rest of the objects.
1. Any suggestion where I should I start ?
2. Is it better to use canvas or DnD ?
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Mustafa

So are you saying that DnD is not an option at all ? I'd say you completely missed the point.
*1) Ways to position objects/components in a rendering:*
- MouseListener
- D'n'D
- Spinners provided to set component position and size
- Scrying
*2) Things to render objects/components on:*
- java.awt.Canvas
- *(whatever).swt.Canvas* (<-assuming that is what you meant by 'Canvas')
- javax.swing.JPanel
- skin (tattoo)
So if we change "I have to go to work, should I take the bus or wear green socks?" to "I have to offer an exact-layout rendering for objects, should I offer ways to position the objects or things to render them on?".
Does that second question 'make sense' to you?

I can't drag and drop text objects onto a report

now i cant seem to insert anything on to an existing report, i am very new to crystal and have searched a couple of forums, i will keep searching the forums, but if someone has a link or any advice that would be great, maybe its a setting i unknowingly have checked?

If you selected Read only option for the report. Change the option using :
File->Report options-> (un check "Read only")
If you are not able to drag fields on only sections. then go to section expert and if a particular section is selected as read only,then remove the read only option there.
I hope this may help you.

CC or CS6 - Drag and drop files into local view files window?

Having come from the excellent Golive, I've always had to compromise with issues like this in DW CS5. Did they add this functionality to the latest versions?
TIA

After a little forum/google-fu, it appears Nancy is right, and what you're seeing is the "correct" behavior for the Mac.
You may want to let Adobe know you'd like this feature on the Mac version here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
I'm sure others have, but adding your voice to the chorus can't hurt. Before you ask, Adobe does actually read those feature request/bug reports pretty regularly, you should at least see a response when they get it, a date for implementation, or whether it will make it onto an upcoming release, not so much.
