Noob question, drag and drop
I am updating my GoLive skills by learning DW CS4. One thing
I would like to do is drag and drop common items and forms items. I
have not been able to get that to work. I have to place cursor
where I want the item, then go to the palette and click the item. I
am just used to dragging and dropping. What is the trick?
SH
There is no trick. Don't drag and drop.

A question about drag and drop
I have multiple images which can be dragged and dropped in a canvas. How can I get information about pictures into dataGrid, for instance the name and value (price) of an image? Currently my images are in array like this:
private function init():void {
currentExampleImage = imageExampleArray[imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber];
private var imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber:Number = 0;
private var imageExampleArray:Array =
"assets/image1.png",
"assets/image1.png"
and they are run with loop like this:
[Bindable] protected function get currentExampleImage():String {
return _currentExampleImage;
protected function set currentExampleImage(value:String) : void {
_currentExampleImage = value;
private function nextExampleImage(e:MouseEvent):void {
if(imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber < imageExampleArray.length - 1)
imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber++;
currentExampleImage = imageExampleArray[imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber];
else
imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber = 0;
currentExampleImage = imageExampleArray[imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber];
So the question is that how can I set and get the name and the value of an image when it is dropped on a canvas and that information to be shown in a separate datagrid? Should I be using objects or classes? This is the drop function:
private function doDragDrop(event:DragEvent):void
var img:Image;
if (event.dragInitiator.parent == whiteBoard)
img = event.dragInitiator as Image;
else
img = new Image();
img.source = (event.dragInitiator as Image).source;
img.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, doDragStart);
whiteBoard.addChild(img);
img.x = event.localX - (event.dragSource.dataForFormat("localX") as Number);
img.y = event.localY - (event.dragSource.dataForFormat("localY") as Number)
Thanks beforehand and feel free to ask more information something is unclear.
Message was edited by: SerpentChimeraThere's a separate empty datagrid in my application and the main intention is to make the information of each image (those dragged and dropped onto a canvas that is a designing area) being shown in the datagrid's columns Name - Quantity - Price. Those values should be obtained from each image but I'm currently unaware of the technique how the information could be added to the images.
For instance Example1.png has a price value of 150€ and when that image is moved onto a canvas, the name and price should be shown in the datagrid and thus there should be simultaneous changes in the Quantity-column when I move the same image onto a canvas many times. Those images can also be removed from the canvas area and then the quantity should decrease. Obviously that same function should work on other images we have in a menu from where the images are dragged and then moved and dropped in the canvas. If I move Example1.png four times there should be Example1 in the name column, 4 in the quantity column and 600€ in the price column and of course all of them in the same row.
Pay attention to the code I put into the first post. You may suggest better options how I can sort-of-import (couldn't invent better term) images to the application.
Later there will be a row in the end of the datagrid/chart where the total price of every object that are moved on the canvas should be shown but that's another story.
Hopefully this made some sense to the whole thing. -
Is there a way to make drag and drop slides behave like question slides?
I created a drag and drop interaction that I want to include in an assessment with other quiz questions. I am having two problems
1. The submit and reset buttons do not display for the full 3.0s duration of the slide. Once the user clicks submit, the feedback caption displays and the buttons disappear.
2. The slide auto advances to the next question. I want the slide pause until the user "clicks anywhere to continue."
Does anyone know a work around to get a drag and drop slide to mimic question slide behavior?
Thanks!Hi Itzelm, KurryKid,
The HTML5 trackers doesn't tell you every feature that is not supported, sorry. It will never tell you that a lot of Effects are not supported either. There is an 'incomplete' list of supported features in the Help documentation. Here is my list (bit rough, no nice layout, sorry)

Drag and Drop questions and Serialization in the 1Z0-852 Upgrade exam?
Hi,
Does anyone know if the drag and drop items and serialization have been removed from the 1Z0-852 Java SE 6 Programmer Certified Professional UPGRADE exam?
I know that they have been removed from the 1Z0-851, but not sure about the upgrade exam.
Thanks in advance,

Drag and drop questions in scjp
hi all,
i m planning to write scjp this month..
can anyone tell me what 'drag n drop' questions like?
and what kind of questions are generally asked?Well you can't change your answer for the drag and drop i mean you can but if you try to go back and try to see your question again for drag and drop then your answer is going to be deleted and then you had to redo the whole thing.
So i suggest please make your decision at the same time. Drag and drop are not hard i mean something like this
System.out.printf("Pi is approxmicately", Math.PI);
Pi is approximately ______
Place the value for PI 3.14
3.145
Something like that Good luck -
Drag and Drop Questions in ocjp6
Hi friends, I'm about to take my ocjp6 exam the following month. Does the exam has DRAG AND DROP questions or I have no need to worry about it? Any latest exam takers? or any one who's aware of it kindly help me with your guidance friends.
If you think that article implies that ALL drag and drop questions were removed from the tests you need to reread it.
The fact that you are not prepared is manifest from the question that you ask and the lack of preparation that you showed by not having reviewed the official information that was available.
As has been frequently stated in the past Oracle is always free to include or exclude ANY topic from ANY exam at ANY time without prior notice. Exam takers are expected to have knowledge in ALL of the fundamental areas of their topic.
Most people preparing for an exam would take one of the many preparatory courses and trial exams that are available.
The fact that you have not indicated that you have done ANY of that is what indicates your lack of preparation.
Attempting to 'shoot the messenger' might make you feel better but it won't overcome your lack of preparation. -
Adobe Presenter 10 Drag and Drop questions - only grey box when trying to create
Hi,
I try to create drag and drop questions in Presenter 10 and after clicking on Add Question -> Drag Drop, the new window opens but where I should be able to define the questions etc, the screen is just grey. Have the same issue on three other systems as well.
Flash is updated to latest version and so is Presenter 10.
Weirdly the installed Flash version is 15, but a right-click into the grey box shows me version 11.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
ChrisJust in case someone else has the same problem, a chat with Adobe brought the solution:
On the gray screen, Right click and go to Global settings
Go to advanced tab
Scroll down and click "Trusted location settings"
On the "Trusted location settings" window, click "add" on the bottom
Click "Add Folder" and select "Local disk c"
Click "Ok" and Confirm on "Trusted location settings" window
Worked for me (on three different machines) like a charm! -

How do I add a progress monitor to a drag and drop question in captivate 7
I need to build a quiz. We have spent a lot of time on the style guide and appearance but I am having difficulty adding a progress monitor to my drag and drop questions. How can I do this?
A Drag&Drop is not a normal question slide, hence that progress indicator is not added, and it wouldn't even be functional.
Long time ago I explained how to create a custom progress indicator, maybe it can help you: Customized Progress Indicator - Captivate blog -
Drag and drop .webloc to desktop - placement question
Using an iMac with a secondary display...
General:
• What governs the location of an item dragged-and-dropped on to the desktop?
• Is this user-modifiable?
Specific:
While doing research, browsing the Web, I routinely save links by dragging the favicon located to the left of the URL of the currently displayed page to the desktop. This seems to work for all the modern browsers I've tried. I've done this for years with no problem.
Until recently, the resulting .webloc file icon lands on the spot where I finish dragging. Recently, the .webloc icon won't go there; instead it ends up in the apparent default location -- which at the moment is the middle-right of my main display. If there are open windows over that region --and there usually are on my very busy desktop-- I have to go to extra steps to get to the .weblocs. This new behavior occurs in the latest versions of Firefox, Safari, and Chrome.
This is about dropping .webloc files on the desktop. Dropping them on an open folder continues to work correctly. Dopping an ordinary item (file or folder) from an open folder to the desktop also works normally.
Suspicion:
I recently moved the external display from the physical right to the left of the main display and adjusted System Preferences-->Displays-->Arrangement accordingly.
Bottom line:
How can I restore the usual behavior, so the favicons become .webloc files exactly where I put them on the desktop?
Note: I know that F11 puts all open windows temporarily aside and I use that. But it ought to be possible to place those webloc files where I want them without any extra step.
TIAThis problem was fixed by installing 10.9.

Drag and drop questions using image and painting
Hi all,
please apologize me if i'm posting a just discussed topic, but I couldn't find anything that could help me.
I'm trying to create an application where I've a Jtree on the left panel that contain entities that have to be dragged and dropped in the central panel (eventually pasting a representative image) as user decide.
I've just implemented all panels and jtree. I read java tutorial on drag and drop, but I don't know HOW i can paste image as objects that then i can manipulate in such a way that the user needs.
Do I have to use java.awt.dnd package?
Please, I'd like to receive some suggestion about.
Thanks in advance for your kindness.
VincenzoI'm sorry, I think that i've not been clear in my explanation. I don't know how to transfer by drag & drop an image (a node of a jtree) to a beside panel. I don't want to get code, it will be more appreciate suggestions on how to proceede.
I don't understand if I need java.awt.dnd package. On java tutorial I read that it shouldn't have to be used.
Thanks, I hope that I've been clearer now. -
Howdy,
I'm new at the whole drag and dropping thing...
I have a JList and users can drop mp3s on it (sorta like a playlist -- actually it is a playlist)
Now, I don't want users to drop .txt or .doc files onto the Jlist and what I have done to prevent this is the following: (Full code below)
String extension = f.getName().substring(f.getName().lastIndexOf('.')+1);
if (extension.equals("mp3")) {
listModel.addElement(f.getName());
vectorFullPath.add(f.getPath());
}I guess what I want to know is, should I be using the isDropAcceptable method to disallow dropping of non mp3 files instead of using the code above? And how would I go about using that function, properly?
class TextAreaDropSongs extends JPanel {
Vector<String> vectorFullPath;
public TextAreaDropSongs() {
vectorFullPath = new Vector<String>();
DefaultListModel listModel = new DefaultListModel();
JList jlist = new JList(listModel);
new DropTarget(jlist, new TextDropTargetListener(listModel, vectorFullPath));
this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
this.add(new JScrollPane(jlist), "Center");
public Vector<String> getSongPaths() {
return vectorFullPath;
class TextDropTargetListener implements DropTargetListener {
DefaultListModel listModel;
Vector<String> vectorFullPath;
public TextDropTargetListener(DefaultListModel dlm, Vector<String> vec) {
listModel = dlm;
vectorFullPath = vec;
public void dragEnter(DropTargetDragEvent event) { }
public void dragExit(DropTargetEvent event) { }
public void dragOver(DropTargetDragEvent event) { }
public void dropActionChanged(DropTargetDragEvent event) {
if (!isDragAcceptable(event)) {
event.rejectDrag();
return;
public void drop(DropTargetDropEvent event) {
if (!isDropAcceptable(event)) {
event.rejectDrop();
return;
event.acceptDrop(DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY);
Transferable transferable = event.getTransferable();
DataFlavor[] flavors = transferable.getTransferDataFlavors();
for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
DataFlavor d = flavors;
try {
if (d.equals(DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor)) {
java.util.List fileList = (java.util.List) transferable.getTransferData(d);
Iterator iterator = fileList.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
File f = (File) iterator.next();
String extension = f.getName().substring(f.getName().lastIndexOf('.')+1);
if (extension.equals("mp3")) {
listModel.addElement(f.getName());
vectorFullPath.add(f.getPath());
} catch (Exception e) { }
event.dropComplete(true);
public boolean isDragAcceptable(DropTargetDragEvent event) {
return (event.getDropAction() & DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY_OR_MOVE) != 0;
public boolean isDropAcceptable(DropTargetDropEvent event) {
return (event.getDropAction() & DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY_OR_MOVE) != 0;Im using yousendit.com
I click the download link that is emailed to me by them from the sender, then it says "downloading" and then when it's done it opens Itunes and starts playing the file.
and Im using Safari as my browser.

For Pete's sake. This is not rocket sience. What more details do you want. I want two tabs OPEN at the same time so I can copy from one to the other or drag and drop from one to the other.
You can copy text and hover that selected text with the left mouse button down on another tab on the tab bar until that tab opens and drop the text in a text field in that tab. You need to make sure that that text area is visible because you can't scroll the page. You can also tear off that tab (temporarily) to a new window and resize them to see both windows. Move the tab back to the other window once you are done if you prefer that.

I have drag and drop working fairly well using jdk 1.4. I'm able to copy and move objects around in the tree and change the cursor as it moves over various objects in the tree. The only problem I'm having is when the user drops something into someplace that rejects the drop, for instance in the blank area of the JTree object. In this case, the drop never seems to complete. If I try to drag that same object again it throws an InvalidDnDOperationException saying that a DnD operation is already in progress. I noticed that the drop() operation is not being called when the user drops the object into a rejected area.
I've searched the forums and haven't seen anyone else report this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?I'd love it too if you would send me you code, or post it so others can benefit; there seems to be quite a number of people who want DnD JTree functionality. I've been going nuts trying to figure out the best way to implement DnD on a JTree. I started using the new TransferHandler and had reasonable success with it. But, I'm not sure how to get the cursor to change based on DropTarget (not all nodes are created equal in this regard). I need access to the DragSourceContext, but I don't know how to get it when using the TransferHandler method.
I have other issues with the TransferHandler also, like trying to make DnD work consistently with Cut-And-Paste all in the same TransferHandler. Or, trying to deal with the fact that you can change a move-type DnD operation into a copy-type operation after you start dragging, but before you drop just by pressing the control-key. This sort of implies to me that the original createTransferable() should always make a copy, so that the only issue is whether to clean up in exportDone(). -
I can drag-n-drop from a tree to tree; grid to tree; tree to
list; list to tree ... but I'm having a helluva time dragging from
a plain old textInput to a tree. It seem to be something to do
w/the drag proxy ... when I try it, a new node shows up in the tree
with no label.
I'm running out if ideas.
Thanks --
-- JeffThis is interesting. As well as having the above problem, I
was getting an incorrect result when dragging to the correct points
in column 2. even though it should be correct
Because of the issue in the previous post, i.e. not being
able to see the last two entries, I decided to delete them.
Hey presto this seemed to fix this above problem. Now my drag
and drop works.
It seems captivate doesn't like to go beyond 6 entries in
column 1 i.e. doesn't show the extra entries and also causes an
false error when successfully completing the drag and drop
