Option-Drag; Drag and Drop Timecode

Trying to copy tiimecode from one window to another. When I option-drag and drop it in the destination window it pops in with about 4 seconds subtracted. It's not a consistent difference, but always close to 4 seconds. Cut and paste (Apple+C; Apple+V) works.
FCP 4
OS 10.3.9
I could give you particulars but this isn't a major issue. It would just save some time in this tedious workflow if I could option-drag. I've searched several boards and help files. Does anyone know if these types of functions -- option-drag, control-click, etc are the domain of FCP or Mac OS? Could be either, or, depending, maybe, I suppose, which is why this may be a futile search. Thanks.

Sure Stephanie,
Attached is a VI I threw together to illustrate the issue.  My code (deliberately) doesn't try to handle the drop properly, it just illustrates the lack of button change.
Note that my main project code implements the workaround of using a shift register to store the original button value (and then the drag data cluster to store it for final use).

  • Does anyone know why the mixed signal graph stops allowing traces to be drag'ed and dropped between different plot areas?

    I have a mixed signal graph that allows me to drag and drop my traces between the plot areas,  then it stops allowing it.
    If I start with a new graph it allows it but eventually stops allowing it.
    I have 4 XY charts feeding the one mixed singal graph through a bundle function, then I run it once and drag my traces to the correct plot area
    and hope that it keeps working.
    Best Regards

    1:30 Seconds ARRRGHHH!!!! I want my popcorn NOW! Isn't there anything faster than a microwave!

    Hi Tim,
    That sounds like some interesting behavior.  Can you reproduce what you were seeing, or have you continued to be able to drag the signals to other plots since you saved and reopened your program?

  • Help: Flash Drag, Rotate and Drop

    Hi, it's simple i know some of you knows how to do this. This
    is just a sample idea wheel, see picture:
    http://www.geocities.com/varcharcode/dragrotatedrop.jpg
    how to make something like that in flash? You drag the
    answer, you rotate it then drop it inside the wheel
    do you have a sample .fla? I know how to make a drag and drop
    but i don't know how to make it rotatable.

    Hi R
    Note that the Border simply adds space to the project so the
    playback controls aren't covering part of your movie. Assuming you
    want that to continue AND have a playback control, you might resize
    the project so the playback control is included in the main movie
    as well as being placed in an area that doesn't possibly obscure
    any screen activity.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Master Slide issue - drag and drop alt slide over theme slide

    Keynote on my MacPro: Where before on the previous version I could in Master Slides drag and drop an alternative look over a theme slide to change that slide only and no affecting the entire presentation which was most useful, now that seems no longer an option unless there's something I can't find to do that. When viewing Master Slides now you cannot see the presentation you're working on. Previously I would set up several slides with different looks and where needed drop that look over a slide and it would override the theme slide without all slides being affected. Qny thought guys?

    Although I have been answering quite a lot of questions about Drag&Drop functionality (not a widget), you are the first to mention such problems.  Personally I never had problems, only when not respecting the design of the interaction or doing something stupid. If you are the only user to have such experience (at least for what I hear in these forums and on social media), I don't see why an upgrade should be expected? Did you log the problem? Are you sure that the project is not corrupted?
    The jigsaw learning interaction is pretty simple, also limited, don't know what are your problems there?
    Are you sure that all objects used in the D&D (drag sources and drop targets) are visible in output. It is a bit confusing in CP8 because the eye icon is used both for visible in output for objects in Properties panel, and for showing the links in D&D in the D&D panel. Can you see the links? Did you avoid overlapping of objects? Did you not rename an object after creating the D&D interaction, because that will break the link from/to that object? I mentioned this in my last article: Drag&Drop tips - Captivate blog
    I am just trying to find out what is going wrong, bit curious about this rare case.

  • Match, drag and drop game

    Hello,
    My name is Nikola and I'm newbie with AS.
    Here’s the thing:
    With the help of some tutorial I’ve created a 'game', where user selects objects, drags it, and drops it on correct shape/color/object. Tutorial is “1 to 1” based, so you can match one object and one target only.
    Now, I would like to have multi objects, and one target on which I can drop them.
    Example:
    TARGET: blue square
    OBJECTS: blue star, blue circle, etc.
    I got stucked with Instance and Movie clip names since they have to be unique, and the code itself works on the principle of names paring - object: name, target: "target"+object name.
    Here’s a code for “1 to 1” option:
    var objectoriginalX:Number;
    var objectoriginalY:Number;
    shape_mc.buttonMode = true;
    shape_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject);
    shape_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
    shape2_mc.buttonMode = true;
    shape2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject);
    shape2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
    function pickupObject(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.startDrag(true);
    event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
    objectoriginalX = event.target.x;
    objectoriginalY = event.target.y;
    function dropObject(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.stopDrag();
    var matchingTargetName:String = "target" + event.target.name;
    var matchingTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(matchingTargetName);
    if (event.target.dropTarget != null && event.target.dropTarget.parent == matchingTarget){
    event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject);
    event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
    event.target.buttonMode = false;
    event.target.x = matchingTarget.x;
    event.target.y = matchingTarget.y;
    } else {
    event.target.x = objectoriginalX;
    event.target.y = objectoriginalY;
    I hope that I was clear,
    thanks,
    Nikola

    for your special example give all matching instances an identical leading Letter:
    like: bStar,bSquare,bHeart for all blue Shapes and gStar,gHeart etc. for all green ones...you get the idea
    then change your function
    function dropObject(event:MouseEvent):void
        event.target.stopDrag();
       //check if the leading Letter for both Sprites is the same
        if (testIfMatch(event.target.name, event.target.dropTarget.parent.name))
            event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject);
            event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
            event.target.buttonMode = false;
        else
            event.target.x = objectoriginalX;
            event.target.y = objectoriginalY;
    function testIfMatch(_drop:String, _target:String):Boolean
        if (_drop.substr(0, 1) == _target.substr(0, 1))
            return true;
        else
            return false

  • Apple mail drag and drop to folder

    Hi everyone,
    Just wondered if the functionality to be able to drag and drop email from mail to a folder on my desktop has been removed or if it's an option I need to find.
    I don't want to file>save each email every time.
    Thanks!
    Ben

    It works fine for me as-is, using OS X 10.6.7 and Mail 4.5.
    Note that the file dragged out and dropped onto the Desktop or into a folder on the Desktop will be a Mail document, not a text document.
    If I want to quick-copy/export an email, I open the message in Mail, click once in the lower pane to make it active, then press Command-A (Select All). This highlights the body text of the email, which I can then drag out onto the Desktop where it becomes a regular clipping rather than a Mail doc.
    Note re drag-and-drop -
    If you click on the name of a message in the list and quickly try to drag it out to the Desktop it doesn't seem to work. However, if you click and hold for a second or two, the message line will dim a bit; if you then drag, it will follow along and drop where you let go of it.

  • Drag and drop mapping UI element/functionality

    Hi All,
    we are searching for functionality, in which the UI should contain drag and drop mapping options.
    e.g.
    we have ztableA(cities) containing values:
    NewYork
    London
    Tokyo
    Moscow
    we have ztableB(countries) containing values:
    Russia
    UnitedStates
    Germany
    England
    the UI should contain above two table values vertically (cities on left side, countries on right), and the user should be able to map by dragging and dropping the cities with appropriate countries.
    initially, the screen will look like:
    NewYork     Russia
    London      UnitedStates
    Tokyo       Germany
    Moscow      England
    after drag and drop actions by the user, it will look like:
    NewYork     UnitedStates
    London      England
    Tokyo      
    Moscow      Russia
                Germany    
    after the mapping is saved by the user, i can save the paired values in 3rd ztable.  
    for this UI, how can we achive, are what is the preferred way to get this, using webdynpro abap or fpm or any other?.
    which UI elements we can use. We are on SAP ECC6, EHP7
    thanks in advance.
    Madhu_1980

    Hi,
    You can use Table UI with drag and Drop. create an Event handler for onDrop and read the drag source and drop target then you can append those to new table.

  • Can't drag and drop from iPhoto

    For what ever reason my iPhoto will no longer allow me to drag photos and drop them into files on my desktop. It was letting my do it this morning so I would assume it is more a glitch than a permanent problem, if anyone could give me any suggestions as to how I could get it back in working order that would be great thank you.
    It is a
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3
    and Iphoto '11 version 9.1.5 (615)

    Hey Pencarnan, let's try to isolate this down a bit as there could be a few factors in play here.
    Would you create a new iPhoto library (hold down option and click "new library"), add a couple pictures to it, and try to drag/drop from that one? I want to see if this is going to be an issue with iPhoto, or with the OS.
    Let me know how it goes!

  • Drag and Drop Interaction Wizard

    I am having problems with the Drag and Drop Interaction Wizard.  I am using Captivate (6.1) and when I launch the wizard I am able to select the drag objects and drop targets, but when I get to Step 3 (mapping), I am unable to map the drag sources to the drop targets.  When I double click on the drag source and draw the arrow to the drop target, the arrow disappears. 
    Has anyone else had this problem?  If so, what did you do about it?

    Hi,
    You do not want to double click on the object in Step 3. All you need to do to map the source to destination, on the Green Items you would notice a '+' symbol, drag and put them on the drop item, you would able to map them easily that way, double clicking them would deselect the object.

  • Multiselect drag and drop in ADF

    Hi,
    Is there any way I can implement multi select drag and drop in ADF.
    Currently I have a UI where I have several cards. Each card is built using panelStretchLayout and I can drag and drop each card.
    The requirement is to be able to select multiple cards and drag and drop. Is there any way I can achieve this using ADF.
    Thanks,
    Rajesh.

    Hi,
    For the drag source and drop target previously i have used action="MOVE". I tried with action="COPY" (default action) and it worked out.
    <af:dragSource actions="COPY" discriminant="DnDDemoModel"/>
    <af:collectionDropTarget actions="COPY" modelName="DnDDemoModel"
    dropListener="#{EditMyWorld.editWorkflow}"/>

  • Drag and Drop between two windows

    I would like to implement Drag and Drop between two windows for example in Windows I can take URL Address form browser and drag it and drop it in to any control that excepts String like TextField.
    I would like to have the same behavior with my Java Text Controls.
    What can I do to achieve this?

    There is no configuration for it. It should work.
    Can you try it in a different user account. If it works in a different account, then it is likely something in your current user account that is messed up. If it doesn't work in another user account, then it is likely something with Mail, itself. 
    You could try downloading and installing the 10.6.7 combo update. That may repair what is wrong.

  • Drag and drop request

    I was waiting for 1.1 as it was supposed to fix drag'n'drop issue on Windows (a lot of quiet Win-Mac differences in Lr...).
    I expected this to fix one of the main issues with Lr that I have. That is: I can send RAW files to Photoshop through CameraRAW (to be used as Smart Objects for example) from every software - 5 years old ACDSee, Photoshop Album/Elements Organizer, Win Explorer, you name it, simply by dragging them and dropping onto Ps. No luck with Lightroom! Lightroom seems to be the least integrated when it comes to this!
    But dragging files OUT OF Lr is still not working. In 1.1 there is at least a workaround but it involves copying the RAW files :-O.
    I would love the ability to drag and drop multiple files out of Lr.
    Thank You
    m.
    p.s. I would also like the sidecar files to travel with the dragged files [a bit like Easy Rider :-S]

    Witkacy > "I would love the ability to drag and drop multiple files out of Lr.
    Thank You
    m. "
    Me: "I subscribe!!"
    Put in other words, I'd like to open the selected files in LR (either RAWs or JPEGs) in third party tools. How do I do that?

  • 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?

  • How can I include a success message in a drag and drop interaction - I don't see this option in the Actions on success options, and cannot figure it out?

    How can I include a success message in a drag and drop interaction - I don't see this option in the Actions on success options, and cannot figure it out?

    I suspected you used the eye icon on the timeline to hide the message, but that one has no impact whatsoever on the published version. It is only meant to be used for editing reasons on the stage, to hide objects temporarily on a crowded stage. It is confusing, certainly in CP8 where for both instances the same eye icon is used. In previous versions the Properties panel had a checkbox for 'Show in Output', which was IMO much clearer than this eye icon. But of course, that is only my personal opinion.
