Trying to drag and drop a text parameter, but it only applies to one letter

Hiya,
In Motion 3, you could drag and drop a Text - Style Parameter to another text object.
Now, in Motion 4, when I try to drag a Parameter it only applies to the first letter of my text object.
So when I drag my Glow from one object to another, my Bleary In Behavior has a blue glow on T in THIS and a yellow glow on HIS in THIS.
I'm guessing this has to do with the ability to adjust each letter with the glyph tool. However, it won't allow me to drag the Parameter to each individual letter...
Which I see a need for...
But why would I want to do a time consuming thing like that?
It's stupid.
Any advice is much appreciated!
Thank you

Well, I'm not sure what to say. I can't replicate your problem. I can drag the outline parameters onto a text object in the viewer, layers pane, or timeline and it copies it exactly as it did in Motion 3, over the entire text object.
However, if I have the glyph tool selected and try to do the same thing, it crashes Motion 100% of the time.
Neither situation is what you're reporting though. It helped me find a bug, and something to avoid however.

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

Hi Poonam26c,
If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:

Im trying to drag and drop a email group from contacts to a new email message. But it will not let me in OS X Mavericks. Before I upgraded I could do this.

Im trying to drag and drop a email group from contacts to a new email message. But it will not let me in OS X Mavericks. Before I upgraded I could do this.

I just posted this fix to another thread and thought it might be useful to post to all of the threads I read trying to fix the problem. Here it is:
Having the same issue over here with Mavericks 10.9.1 on a new Macbook Pro/Retina. Just now found a workaround/fix/whatever:
- click on your group in the group pane of the address panel
- click anywhere in the name pane and select all (command + a)
- click the "To:" or "Cc:" or "Bcc:" tab right above the group pane at the top of the address panel window.
The names of all of the individuals in the group will appear as an expanded list in whatever field you clicked. It takes a second or two to happen.

Drag and drop external text into a Flex component

Hi,
is there any way to allow drag and drop of external text (for
example, selected text from another browser or even from the
address bar) into a Flex component like TextArea? I know how to
drag and drop between two different Flex components but in this
case, the source is external. There must be something I can do to
TextArea like its dragdrop property to allow this feature... any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh

Short answer: Yes, as long as it is an AIR app.
Browser-based Flex apps do not have access to
ClipBoardFormats, so I'm not sure it is possible to do what I think
you want to do -- have a web-based Flex app that allows you to drag
and drop selected text from other apps. Most possibly because of
the security sandbox that the Flash player runs in.
However, if you wanted to do it in an AIR app, I built this
as an example for you (you can view a "cleaner" version with proper

This thread is pretty old, but this can help anyone in the future:
To handle a drop in InDesign, you have to implement your own custom CDragDropTargetFlavorHelper. You can find a working example in SDK Sample. Take a look at BasicDragDrop.sdk project in the SDK.

Drag and drop to CD or DVD is only writing a shortcut?

I'm trying to drag and drop files to a CD and no matter what type of file I drag to the finder window, it only produces a shortcut. I even tried different filetypes and sizes and media and had the same issue. Any ideas?

Hi,
That's normal. Once you burn the CD the files will really be there.

click on the black arrow in the search box and untick Search Entire Library

Within Music Library can anyone please explain why when I select the option to sort 'Album by Artist' a number of tracks are being treated as separate albums? How can I correct this? I have tried to 'drag and drop' but that doesn't work.

Within music Library can anyone please explain why after I select the option to sort 'Album by Artist' a number of tracks are being treated as separate albums? How can I fix this? I have tried to manually correct by 'drag and drop' individual tracks but that doesn't work. My music library includes a number of repeat album artwork images simply because not all tracks are being listed under the one album making my library more difficult to use than it should. Any advise would be appreciated.

******DataControl Drag and drop -method return parameter issue!!!******

Hi,
It is a basic DataControl question where I am facing some issues due to this.
I have created the DataControl form java webservice and using that DC in my ADF application. When I drag and drop my Data Control RESULT in my UI and select some specific output structure (Table or form or etc), it is pop-up the window with all the return parameters where I can enter the lables and hitting OK button.
While hitting OK button some times it is pop-up the next window where I can see the DataControl name on the top and the method input parameters list on the bottom of the window and I can enter the value for my input fields. But very few times I am getting this 2nd window popup. Not every time where after hit the OK button in the first window directly it is creating the table / form in the UI.
But I need this 2nd window to be popup inorder to carry forward my input parameters binding across my application. Please help me why am I not getting that method input list sometimes. Or is there any other file I can edit and set the method input parameter binding?? This is really helpful to solve one of my major project issue. Help plzzzz...
Thanks

Arun & Puthanampatti
Thanks for the help. Yes I did the same and now I could able to carry forward my input param values from first page to 2nd and 3rd pages where the first page holding method input parameters via DataControl and the 2nd and 3rd pages holding the DC method;s return params. Can you please let me know how to set the new value for the input parameter mapping from 2nd to 3rd page.
*Ex: In first page have 2 input parameters values set to:(UserID1 = #{pageFlowScope.arg0} & UserID2 = #{pageFlowScope.arg1}). I am navigating to 2nd page where I am displaying the userSearch result it may be display more than 1 user. Now I am navigating to 3rd page by selecting any one of the user ID and want to display that selected user details in the 3rd page. Here I am using the same DataControl method result at 2nd and 3rd page.*
*So I want to set the selected userId value to #{pageFlowScope.arg1} before I navigate to 3rd page. Please help me how to change/set the value to the #{pageFlowScope.arg1}. This will solve my major issue. Thanks in advance.*
Thanks

So for my first project in numbers, I wanted to create a spreadsheet of all my contacts. I read the manual, watched a video tutorial, and tried just about everything I could think of, but I am un successful with dragging and dropping the contacts into a blank template. Can anyone help?

Thanks for the feedback. You said you watched a video. Was it Gary's tutorial at MacMost.com? I really enjoyed that one.

Drag and drop a text

Bonjour,
Est il possible de faire drag and drop d'une zone text sous CVI?
Cordialement.

Hi,
I guess I have to correct myself - the initial answer was the result of a quick experiment using one of my programs. So by default drag and drop is not enabled for strings. However, there is a function in the toolbox library that promises to enable Windows drag and drop, EnableDragAndDrop (int panelHandle).

PS: The attribute ATTR_ENABLE_DRAG_DROP is avalable only for tree items and tab pages.
