Learning Components - Drop & Drag. Target not recognised

I am using a drop and drag learning component. I have made about a hundred of these in the last few months, done everything the same way but for some reason, every now and then its like the the target isnt recognised.
When trying to drag the drag over to the target area, it doesnt snap, just goes back to its original position.
I tried unticking the 'snap to start' box in the components inspector which allows me to move the drags to the target but then i cannot submit/check answer.
Im not farmiliar with the code used behind the learning components..
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Alex.
I did as you say, and DragManager is in the report file in several places. Also, Drag/Drop does work inside of SWFLoader for the TileList in the loaded app, and even somtimes as it should as far as the drag/drop operation I am talking about, but not always.
It seems to work sometimes and not others. When it does work it is not nearly as smooth as when I run the app as a "stand alone" and I never see the drag proxy while dragging inside of SWFLoader.
Is there anything else that could be causing these issues?

IPhone 4 stuck in recovery after I dropped it. Not recognised in Itunes

I dropped my iPhone and since then it has been stuck in recovery mode. It shows the apple logo for approx. 10 secs then goes black, then shows apple logo for 10 secs in a continuous loop.
I have tried restarting the iPhone with the power key and home key pressed down and then plugging in the USB cable. This does result in the 'connect to Itunes' message. But iTunes won't recognise it (although it does cause iTunes to open).
I reinstalled to the latest version of iTunes.
The phone is not jailbroken and was running the latest iOS.
I have also tried TinyUmbrella but when I click 'exit recovery mode' Tiny Umbrella crashes.
Help please??

I also thought this. BUT it's not actually in the centre of Stuttgart. It's in an area called Sindelfigen and I don't have access to a car. It will take moe over an hour to get their by bus and tram.
You would think a city like Stuttgart would have one in the centre.....

Drag and Drop Cursor changes - not working

I have fully implemented a working drag and drop Swing application, but I am running into problems with the cursor.
My application has some drop targets that set the cursor to DragSource.DefaultCopyNoDrop, and some that set it to DragSource.DefaultCopyDrop. The problem is once I change the cursor DefaultCopyDrop, I can never change it to NoDrop. I can however change it from NoDrop to Drop. I have tried it with jdk1.4 beta3 and rc.
An example of this cursor behavior can be found at:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-1999/jw-03-dragndrop.html
I found some information related to this at:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4407521.html
I have tried using a null cursor in the startDrag method.
Does anyone have a DND example where the cursor consistantly changes to give drop feedback that works with the DND in JDK1.4?
Dave

Hi, I also want to implement DND. I am using JRE1.3.1
I am also facing the cursor change problem. i have passed null in the startDrag method. This problem get solved to some extent, but still many times cursor is not changing. I have created my dragSource and drag Target
in the Constructor of my tree in a separate thread like
// IN CONSTRUCTO OF TREE
SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Tree_DropTarget(this) );
SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new TreeDragSource(this,
DnDConstants.ACTION_MOVE) );
Than in the target and source class
publi clas Tree_DropTarget implements DropTargetListener,Runnable
public Tree_DropTarget(JTree tree)
m_dropTarget = tree;
public void run ()
try
Thread.sleep(2000);
catch (InterruptedException e)
m_dropTarget = new DropTarget (m_targetTree, this);
Same Way I have done for DragSource.
Is anything wrong there???
I am also facing 1 more proble, sometiems DND events are getting fired on navigating through the nodes, even though i am not dragging the node. And getting the Below exception some times
java.lang.NullPointerExceptionat sun.awt.dnd.SunDropTargetContextPeer.handleMotionMessage(Unknown Source)
     at sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.eventLoop(Native Method)
     at sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.run(Unknown Source)
     at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
This exception I am not able to get who is throwing as all exceptions i am catching.
Please help me, if u had any idea about these problems.

The 1009 error indicates that one of the objects being targeted by your code is out of scope. This could mean that the object....
- is not in the display list
- doesn't have an instance name (or the instance name is mispelled)
- does not exist in the frame where that code is trying to talk to it
- is animated into place but is not assigned instance names in every keyframe for it
- is one of two or more consecutive keyframes of the same objects with no name assigned in the preceding frame(s).
If you go into your Publish Settings Flash section and select the option to Permit debugging, your error message should have a line number following the frame number which will help you isolate which object is involved.

Drag & drop - multi targets that swop?

Is it possible to have two draggables for two targets?
Where drag-A can be dropped on target-A or target-B, but if
it does, then drag-B can only be dropped onto the other target
(where drag-A is not).
The reason for this is a sequence of 15 draggables and
targets for a process that need to be completed in the correct
order. The code is fine for that, but the process has some steps
that can be done in two ways, hence the choice.
In other words, the user can get a correct answer for the
whole process if they decide to make some steps one way or the
other.
I'm intermediate level in flash scripting but don't know the
simplest way to do this. I've research the flash sites but nothing
comes close. Maybe the instance names have to be changed
dynamically via if/else? Maybe on drop of drag-A onto target-B
asomehow changes the logic.

Thanks for your reply. I tried to isolate just the picture as
follows:
function dragPic(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("drag, " + this.parent)
// event.target.startDrag();
// this.startDrag();
var test:Loader = Loader(event.target);
test:startDrag();
I got the same results. Its not only dragging the picture,
but it is also
dragging the background JPG file as well. I've tried making
the
background image a movieclip, and that did not change the
results.
I'm sure its something simple, but I haven't found the right
combination or
example.

is this something to do with an instance name?

Drag and drop feature is not working in Maverick?

what can i do when the Drag and Drop feature is not working in my I Mac Using Maverick 10.9.4, it will not do it at all i must do copy and paste.
reading from earlier forums this has been a problem in earlier versions for the mac.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

10.4 Update files not recognised

Using 10.4 on a second hand Powermac g4 from ebay, so no installation discs.
Successfully downloaded standalone updates 10.4.1....10.4.9 etc but first one (MacOSXUpdate10.4.1.dmg) not recognised so won't install. others recognised but won't work until first one installed.
Same with standalone combo update (MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10) it isn't recognised. Using AOL dial up so it's taken seven attempts (overnight) to get a continuous connection for the complete Combo download. (Same with Software Updates Combo from Apple menu on desktop)
How do I get the right file which will be recognised ? or should I buy a full retail version of Tiger from ebay ? I'm concerned about all the probs people are having with updates as I am miles away from Apple Store for repairs and am a newbie. Many thanks for any replies.

Welcome To  Discussions frenchbingo!
Which version of OS X is currently installed on the Power Mac G4?
If it is not Tiger 10.4.x, then as sig posted, you will have to purchase a set of install discs.
Exactly which model PowerMac G4 is it?
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
If it is this model Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics), it had OS 8.6 or OS 9.0 installed, when manufactured in 1999.
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.10 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Leopard 10.5.x, can be purchased at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Leopard System Requirements
Jaguar 10.2.x, Panther 10.3.x, and Tiger 10.4.x, are no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Leopard 10.5.x, will be the most up to date OS.
But, if you know what to look for, Jaguar Full Retail CDs, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased, sometimes less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info in these links.

Before upgrading to any OS X version, check to see if your Mac needs a Firmware Update.
If one is required, you must start the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk, not from a CD, in order to install it.
This Power Mac G4 Firmware Update 4.2.8 appears to be the one you would need to install.
Once Jaguar 10.2.x is installed, you can use the 10.2.8 Combo Update,
or if Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version of either OS.
If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.10 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Jaguar System Requirements
-Power Mac G3 or G4, iMac, eMac, PowerBook G3 or G4, or iBook computer
-128MB of physical RAM
-Supports all video cards shipped by Apple on Mac OS X-compatible systems. Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video cards: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti; Any AGP-based ATI RADEON card. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required.
-QuickTime Pro functionality requires a QuickTime 6 Pro key. The QuickTime 5 Pro key will not work after this software is installed.
-DVD Player requires a DVD-ROM equipped Macintosh with built-in FireWire.
Review these Apple documents for Panther System Requirements
And Additional Panther System Requirements.
Additionally, Tiger 10.4.x ships on a DVD, so if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.

.JPGs used in the drop/drag quiz questions

In Captivate 4, can .JPGs be used in drop/drag quiz questions? We need to see if Learners can properly "build up" a sub-assembly of a machine and they will need to know which part fits on top of the correct piece of equipment.
If not, any suggestions?

No. Currently no version of Captivate allows you to set up drag and drop interactions natively with images as the drag objects or targets.
However, there are two widgets that can be purchased to do this:

Digital editions does not recognise Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7

Digital editions does not recognise my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7. The device is authorised. Please help. Thanks

Your last post is confusing - and the technology is unforgiving. So let me
see if I can piece this together....
Starting with the Tab 7.7: some manufacturers have devices that they
improve upon and claim compatibility because they're 'just like' XUY that
they made last year. Sometimes this is true, but often, the user ends up
with claims and not much function. Samsung is pretty good about this, but
you can't assume that, just because you can connect the Tab to your
computer and move stuff back and forth, that the programs on your computer
are going to work with your Tab - and vice versa.
The OS on the tablet is NOT compatible with ADE, so you can't drag and drop
ebooks as you would with other ereaders. You have to use utility programs
to move the ebook to your Tab. Once you move the ebook to the tablet,
Aldiko should be the program that you use to read the ebook. In your
situation, all ADE is doing is retrieving the ebook from the source, and
storing it on your computer.
You mention "software/apps that are available for DRM". DRM is the copy
protection on an ebook. It's a software switch built into the ebook's ID
file and all that it does is to tell you whether or not you can copy or
print the ebook. ADE and Aldiko look at the switch when you open or try to
copy the ebook. And if the DRM settings are preventing Aldiko from opening
the ebook, you're stuck. Those settings come from the publisher,
distributor or author, not from either ADE or Aldiko. You can try to open
the ebook on your computer with ADE and see if you get the same results.
You mention error messages. I think, from the context, you're getting them
on the Tab when you try to do something with the ebook. Any messages
relating to time relate to the settings for your time, date and time zone.
I'm guessing here, but I think your Tab's settings aren't the same as your
computer's, and that's why you get the 'expired' message. The 'unknown
error' message may be from Aldiko - and we're not equipped here in the ADE
forum to deal with that one - sorry! If the error message section of the
Aldiko user guide doesn't tell you either, then you might be able to find
out what to do about it from an Aldiko forum.
Your Overdrive comment has me puzzled. I looked for some context in the
other posts in this stream, and I didn't see anything that helped.
Overdrive is a 'elibrary management system' that does much the same thing
as ADE does. So, you can import and export ebooks via Overdrive. Your
situation seems to revolve around how you get ebooks onto your Tab and then
get Aldiko to open them for you to read, and I don't know if Overdrive
supports the Tab either.

Addresses in Mail not recognised as in my Address Book

Hi. I have been having this problem for years now through several computers and OS-X versions, and only now is it really bugging me because I am now using the search in Lion mail for "Person: Smith, John".
I still frequently get emails from or to people in my address book that are not recognised as being there (in my address book) - if you right click the blue address bubble which is displayed in full (John Smith <[email protected]>) rather than just by name (John Smith), it offers to "Add to address book" rather than "Show contact card". If I do chose to add it, I get two identical addresses in the address book, and duplicate cards for the person in question. If I then merge them, and delete either address, it seems a bit unpredictable whether the problem continues or not.
The thing that has brought this to a head is that if I do a search in Lion mail, and chose the "Person: xxxx" option in the drop down menu, it will only find emails that it has recognised are related to those in my address book, and it is missing hoards!
I have to say, all these years on, it is maybe about time Apple fixed this, but does anyone have any thoughts?
Martyn

Welcome to the discussions, gjclimer.
This sometimes helps:
Quit Address Book.
In folder ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook drag file AddressBook.data to the desktop. Rename AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data and restart AB. If your contacts are not back quit AB again and repeat the drag/rename process, this time with AddressBook.data.beforesave.
If you get your contacts back, now is probably a good time to use the AB menu item File/Back up Address Book.

Same mp4 video plays fine from one drive but not recognised from another??

Everytime I drag and copy my MP4 video files from my internal drive to an external one, it then no longer plays from the external drive. The external drive is working fine, and if I render the video directly to that drive, it previews and plays fine. This only happens to MP4 files I copy from internal drive to this external drive
Something seems to happen to the file when I copy and paste it or drag and drop it.
As I drag it I and when it lands in the folder I copied it to, the preview thumbnail is here for a split second, then switches to a regular QT icon - when i try to open it, it then says file format not recognised - even though the exact same file plays fine from the original location on my internal hard drive
This is driving me mad - any ideas - must be something simple?
Any help really appreciated

I used MPEGStreamClip to transcode the audio file to AIFF (over 1500 kbs @ 48khz) with better results. With the iTunes volume set at full and with the volume adjustment option set at 100% (which is 50% above flat), the AIFF file played through iTunes, produces about the same decibels as playing the file through VLC with the VLC volume at full.
Thanks much for your help.
I believe some of the problem is with the original file being a bit too quiet to begin with. Putting it into analog terms, it's kind of like a 1 watt pre-amp signal when it needs to be a 4. Do you know of a way to increase the audio output level through the cable box fire wire port so it can be captured at a higher audio level to begin with?

I am unable to sync my photos etc.
Please help me resolve this issue.
thanks,
Alex

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

Help! ADE does not recognise my Elexon 621 eb

Can anyone help me please. I bought an Elexon 621eb, uploaded ADE and managed to put a couple of books on to it. The next time I plugged it in ADE did not recognise it - turned out to be a problem with the e book. I have a new one now but ADE does not recognise it when I plug it in. How do I get it to recognise my new EB without loosing the books I've bought? Thanks

Sharon, here are some generic things you can do.
First, make sure that the software on your new ebook reader is up to the
latest level. You'll have to follow the manufacturer's instructions to do
this.
Next, make sure that you've authorized or activated the ereader with the
manufacturer, so it's live and loaded - so to speak.
Then, plug it into our computer and let the computer recognize it as a USB
device. When the computer reports that your new hardware is ready to use,
start ADE. ADE 'should' find the device and note that it has in the left
hand pane of the Library screen. When it does this, then you can drag and
drop the ebooks from ADE onto the ereader.
Finally, when the downloads appear to be complete. close ADE. Then, use
your computer software to 'eject' the ereader so that the computer drops it
from its list of active USB devices. How you do this depends on the
software you have on your PC.
After this is done, look at the ereader screen and make sure it is updating
itself with the new content. Once that's completed, you 'should' be able to
read the books on your ereader.
Hope this helps!

See

However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
