The dummy div would be a good idea, as it reduce complexity. To actually move the layer:
myLayer.removeFromParent() (doea not delete, just remove) myOtherLayer.addChild(myLayer); This will remove the layer from it's parent, and add it to the new layer/ndoe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gabriel J Zimmerman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Kurt McCaw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 8:32 AM Subject: Re: [Dynapi-Help] Drag And Drop in RiFastSkinTreenode > > That sounds like a really cool idea! > > I have been playing with the idea of adding DragDrop capabilities to the > tree menu project (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/jsmenu), which > would involve turning it from absolute positioning to relative > positioning and making the groupings (i.e. <Image for > child1-3> child1-3) all in one div. > > I was thinking along the lines of making each one its own div and not > worrying about divs within other divs, because it might get hairy. > > What I would recommend offhand is that instead of actually dragging the > div that exists in the tree menu, you create an invisable layer not part > of the tree menu.
