Manually adding drag and drop

Hi guys , obviously Im a newbie to flex...what I am doing is
putting together a multipl file uploader so far so good but I now
need to add drag and drop functionality and just stuck!
1. so I am listening for drag enter and once a file or
file(s) have been dragged over my target(datagrid) I will like to
check the file type to ensure its of *.pdf else show and alert.
2. I need to listen for drag drop or mouseUp and update my
datagrid accordingly even extracting the file details from at this
stage is baffling...pls find my code attached :(

> Does that mean then there is some runtime introspection happening to see if the object's class is castable?
The runtime understands what types are compatible with what other types. As a similar example that doesn't involve casting, you can assign a Button instance to a variable of type DisplayObject, but you can't assign it to a varible of type int. I believe it throws a TypeError when there is a type compatibility. But I don't think introspection is the right term for what is going on; I'd call it strict runtime type awareness.

Adding drag and drop to Captivate 3 simulations

Hi,
I'm trying to design short simulation which involves moving
comments icons in a pdf file. Does anyone have any idea how this
drag-and-drop functionality could be built into a captivate
simulation?
Thanks

Captivate community contributor Paul Dewhurst offers a
drag-and-drop starter file on his website that you can use to build
drag-and-drop interactions.
As Paul mentions on his site, you need to use a 3rd-party
tool to create the actual interaction, though.
You can find the file on Paul's website here:

Adding drag and drop functionality to a hbox with a repeater?

hello,
I've been searching on how to add drag and drop functionality
to an hbox. You're probably thinking "just use a tilelist", and
that's what i'm currently using, but the tilelist cannot align
items to the center, which is crucial in my application (if you
need me to explain further i will, but i don't think it's relevant
here).
So i need drag and drop on an Hbox. The repeater is necessary
because the hbox may need to be populated with items initially,
which can later be dragged and dropped either in itself (to
re-arrange items) or into another hbox of this kind. For the past
few hours I've been trying to find anything that can even hint at
this type of functionality (i've been searching and experimenting
for hours). If anyone can point me in the right direction, i'd
appreciate it. Thank you very much. -b

How to drag and drop from shared library to iphone/ipad?

Since our Mac Pro has more storage, that's where I keep our iTunes videos, to avoid taking up space on my wife's laptop. Sharing the libraries works ok, except for one issue.
When my wife wants to put movies onto her iPhone or iPad, iTunes won't let her drag and drop them directly from the shared library. She can copy them just fine to her local library and from there to the devices, but that is cumbersome and takes up disk space.
Please don't tell me it isn't possible because we did have it working for some time, I just don't know what's changed. The devices are set to "manually manage", drag and drop works locally, just not from the share.
Thanks!

Take a look at this tutorial: [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/dnd.html]How to Use Drag and Drop and Data Transfer.
If you read it carefully and study the samples, I think you should get rid of your first question.
Concerning the second question, you can overwrite the isCellEditable(int row, int column) method to return false. This will block any editing from the table.
Hope this helped,
Regards.

I can't drag and drop songs onto my iPod from iTunes. (Manual transfer is not working.) Please help!

Normally, I just select songs and I'm able to drag and drop them from my library onto my device. I have an iPod Touch and an iPhone 4. I want to drag and drop my songs from the library onto my iPod Touch. I have already selected manual upload instead of automatic sync. I tried suggestions from the Mac message board (since other people seem to have had a similar issue), and their solutions didn't work for me. I have restarted both iTunes, my computer, and reconnected my iPod multiple times. I don't know what's going on, and I can't find a fix anywhere in iTunes help. If anyone knows what to do, or has any suggestions, please let me know! Thanks.

Update: I seem to have fixed the problem! I went to the "summary" section of my iPod after clicking on the device on the left side of iTunes. I checked the box that allowed me to "manually manage music and videos" and applied this option. The songs are syncing! And, yay, they're playing on my iPod now! Hopefully, this helps anyone else who might have this problem. There might be other issues, but this is working for now.

I can't sync my music on iPhone 4S - trying to do manually but don't get options to drag and drop . If I uncheck everything in my library it won't remove from my iphone

I cannot sync my 4s. If I uncheck all items on my library it doesn't remove all music from my phone. If I try to update manually I do not get the drag and drop options that the user guide states I should?

Did you check "Manually manage music and videos" in iTunes before you tried to drag and drop?

I used to drag and drop newly loaded CD's from Recently Added to one of my iPod Classic playlists. I have no idea how to do this with the new version of iTunes. I thought perhaps checking Sync might give me a clue but it warned me Syncing would wipe conte

I used to drag and drop music loaded from CD's from the Recently Added folder to a Playlist on my iPods Classic. Can't see how to do this with new iTunes version. Probably need to sync somehow but when I checked on Sync it warned me it would wipe out my iPod contents. Don 't know why Apple makes something that used to be simple so difficult. Can't even figure out how to display both my library and iPod contents on same screen.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
or here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Best,

Can you Cancel "acceptDragDrop()" using Manual Drag-and-Drop?

I have an AdvancedDataGrid (ADG) with manually drag-and-drop
functionality built in. The user can only drag-and-drop within the
one ADG. I do this in order to validate which items can be dragged,
and where they can be dropped. I have run into one problem,
however. In my override of dragEnterHandler(), I call
DragManaged.acceptDragDrop() if the user drags an item over a valid
item. However, if they don't drop the item there, and continue to
drag the item around the ADG, and roll over an item that is not
valid, there's no way to cancel the drop.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for the updates.

Yes but then all your music will be erased and replace by the new playlist.

How do I manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPhone 4 using iTunes 11?

How do I manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPhone using iTunes 11?

If you manually manage music... on iTunes 11, go to the top left corner and there will be a pull down bar. Click "show menu bar". From there, go to view, then show sidebar. Magically, it looks like the previous versions of iTunes. Took me 3 hours of trial and error and searching through forums to figure out. Tried calling Apple to have them walk me through it and they said they wouldn't help me since I don't have Apple Care. Whatever. Hope this helps!!

Itunes not moving past "preparing to update" while manually dragging and dropping music files

Hello there. I recently updated my iPhone to iOS 7.1. After the update, I noticed that I cannot transfer music to my phone by dragging and dropping. I though it may help if I upgrade my iTunes to the latest available version from the Apple website. That didn't help either. When I go to the "Apps" tab and drag and drop anything from the Windows Explorer to the apps, it gets added. It's only getting stuck at "Preparing to Update" when I add music from within iTunes library. If I disconnect during this sync and reconnect later, the songs do no appear in the phone but appear in the "on this iphone" tab as grey colored and cannot be played.
Any help wuld be appreciated.
Thanks. LD.

I have the same problem than you guys and I can fixed it just deleting the ebooks that I had on my device. I deleted them from iTunes on the device books list in my iphone. Presumibly some epub file was either corrupted or broken. I've got the idea and the possible reason from "twerppoet" at http://www.ipadforums.net/threads/help-my-itunes-are-taking-forever-to-update-fi les-on-ipad-when-i-transfer-ebooks.60436…
Hope that helps.

HT1535 Does iTunes 11 allow for the "dragging" and "dropping" of music from a library onto a manually managed device?

It appears that iTunes 11 does not allow for the "dragging" and "dropping" of music from a library onto a manually managed device.. is that true? I am trying to drag a playlist onto my iPhone. I've done it many times before on previous versions of iTunes but now that the menu is up in the heading, I can't drag the playlist onto the icon for my iPhone.

No.
Sync you are not syncing, the ONLY way to get items onto a manually managed device is to drag and drop.
However, I feel a much simpler way is to create a playlist and add/remove songs from this playlist and autosync this playlist (or multiple playlists). I use about 6 or 7 playlists
You can still also drag & drop songs while autosycning.

Had to reinstall iTunes after bad virus and now when I drag and drop song into custom playlist it won't added. No green appears, instead just the circle with slash. What's going on? a fix? Michael

I had to reformat after a bad virus and reinstall iTunes. Now when I try to drag and drop a song into a custom playlist, it won't add the song. Instead of the green + that is supposed to appear, it just shows the circle with cross slash. I created numerous playlist before and never ran into this problem. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks 1ngiri

OK, so I have now found that this is apparently normal for iTunes, to only accept mpeg 4 movie files, all the searching I did before I must have worded it wrong because I couldn't find anything about this, incredibly. Had been looking for why iTunes won't take all the files it previously did, like if it had been changed, and it hasn't, it's allegedly always taken only mpeg 4 files. Also I had been searching for why iTunes crashes every time I try and add/import anything but mpeg 4 files, and even sometimes with mpeg 4 files. That isn't normal, it's supposed to just do nothing apparently as I've just found out. So for these reasons I didn't find the answer despite my searching all over the web.
So I guess that answers my own question now, but I'm still perplexed as to why I absolutely, definitely, without any doubt, had several hundred movies of a few different video file types loaded, accessible and playable in my iTunes library that everything here claims iTunes never accepted. It apparently shouldn't have been possible for me to have done this, but for probably 10 years it's been this way.
Perhaps since I don't remember adding these files to iTunes anymore recently than maybe 6 or 7 years ago, the iTunes back then did accept all kinds of file types? Or could I have somehow had some video codecs or software that expanded the capability of my movie players like Quicktime Player that unwittingly also allowed iTunes to take those files as well? All I know is somehow it worked! So now my question is how did I have it working before, so that maybe I can make it work again.

Unable to drag and drop images with manual sort in CS2 bridge

I've had CS2 for several years now but for some reason, just never really needed to do a manual sort. Now that I DO need to, it doesn't seem to be working. I have the view set for manual and no matter what kind of working space I use, the program does not allow me to drag and drop the thumbnails into different positions. All I get is that circle with a diagonal line through it, showing me that what I'm trying isn't going to work.
Any ideas?

Bridge version 1.0.4.6 (104504)

DUUUUUUUDE! IT'S WORKING NOW!!!!
When you originally asked, "What happens if you click on an image and move it to another folder?", I didn't really understand what you were talking about because I almost never have my workspace set up in a way that the folders are showing. I always hide them. So I didn't really understand what you were saying. Just a few minutes ago, I realized that that is what you were asking so I opened up the folder area and tried dragging thumbs into different folders and saw that it does work.
So then, because of you mentioning that blue line and me know that I did see the blue line on occasion. I went back over into the thumbnails to find out if I always got the blue line or if it was a hit or miss thing. I couldn't believe my eyes when all of the sudden I saw that I no longer was getting that circle with the line through it, and low and behold, the thumbnail dropped right into position like it is supposed to!!!!
The thing is, I don't know what I've learned from this. I thought, "well, what is different?" The only thing that I can think of is that I now have the folders showing in my workspace so I wondered if that was the secret but I just now hid the folders again like I usually do and the drag and drop into position is STILL WORKING!!!
All I can figure is that somehow, dragging and dropping a thumbnail into a folder like that for the first time, triggered something so that I can now drag and drop among the thumbnail positions? Not sure. All I know is that for some reason, IT'S WORKING NOW!
Now, for the second important part, I wonder if I drag and drop everything into the order that I want and then select all of the files and drag them into a new folder, will they stay in that order? I need to go experiment with that.
If you hadn't kept at it and in turn had me keep trying stuff, it would have never happened because I had pretty much given up.
Thanks Curt!
You da man!!!

How to manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPod Shuffle using iTunes 11?

In iTunes 10, it's simple to just drag and drop a few songs manually from the library/playlist to the Shuffle. In iTunes 11, Shuffle has its own window. How do you manually drag and drop songs from music library/playlist to iPod Shuffle using iTunes 11?

If you manually manage music... on iTunes 11, go to the top left corner and there will be a pull down bar. Click "show menu bar". From there, go to view, then show sidebar.
