Hi all.. No one had any Ideas on this one ?
This may shed some light .. an example is a billion gazillion words Take a look at .. http://users.bigpond.net.au/buckland/dev/example/dragndrop.html As this is what I am trying to do .. I need to drag the Yellow layer from the thin Grey one to the large grey one and then have the dragboundary set as the large grey one (via it being the parent) ideas ?? - ramon ----- Original Message ----- From: R & S Buckland To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 11:42 PM Subject: [Dynapi-Help] Changing a layers parent. Hi peoples... I have a task where I need to change the parent of a layer I have four layers Layer BASE Layer A Layer B Layer X Layer BASE is child of DynAPI.document Layer A and B are children of BASE Layer A has a child, layer X Layer X is draggable Layer B has no children On dragstart, I want to make Layer X a child of BASE (so it can 'move' freely in BAE and seemlessly to LayerB across the way. and the if the Layer X is dropped onto Layer B.. make it s a child of Layer B. As soon as I removeChild(layerX) from layerA .. the child disappears .. the next line is always to layerBASE.addChild(layerX) in this example addChild implicityly removes' the child from it's parents (tried many things .. this is just one of them) but it never comes back ... Here is some sample code... myListener=new EventListener(this) myListener.ondragstart=function(e) { layerX=e.getTarget() layerBASE.addChild(layerX); } myListener.ondragend=function(e) { layerX=e.getTarget() layerB.addChild(layerX); // addChild implicitly calls // removeChild on the // obj anyway (see dynapi.js) } } layerX.addEventListener(myListener) Has anybody done this before ? got a working example ? My ultimate goal is to change the parent of a given layer.and not have the layer disappear. - ramon _______________________________________________ Dynapi-Help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dynapi-help
