Hi Amy,
I've tried your suggestion and am having a problem...
The childIndex() method is not available to my object...and I have
tried it both with my drag event as well as my ADG with negative results
(errors).
Here is the function that this lives in:
private function dropHandler(event:DragEvent):void
{
var endIndex:int = event.currentTarget.selectedIndex;
alert.info("Index is:" + endIndex);
.
.
.
When I replace
var endIndex:int = event.currentTarget.selectedIndex;
with
var endIndex:int = event.currentTarget.selectedItem.childIndex();
I get --> TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no
properties.
When I try accessing the actual ADG to attempt to get the position
var endIndex:int =
currentSubgroups.selectedItem.childIndex();
I get the very same error.
Additionally, I've also tried:
var endIndex:int =
currentSubgroups.dataProvider.selectedItem.childIndex();
which gets me --> ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property selectedItem
not found on mx.collections.HierarchicalCollectionView and there is no
default value.
From what little I have been able to find on the net for
documentation on the childIndex() method, it all seems to be using an
XML data set. Is that part of the problem here...that I am not using an
XML dataset or am I mis-applying this method?
Thanks,
Adrian
