Yes, all the data is in SQLite and available as an arraycollection to everything when creation complete kicks. I'm just trying to get the URL of an image that is already in a grid of images to be added to a presentation (within the presentation table) when the image is dropped on the presentation in the UI.

Last night around 2 AM I thought "Oh, the item renderer should accept it" and then I went to sleep. But I'm still puzzled as to how to fire the proper SQL statement for each drop; essentially it's an INSERT [URL from drop] INTO table WHERE column = [the drop acceptor's label string]. Example code rocks, of course, but small nudges will help me get through the fog. Thanks to all who keep illuminating...

I'm sure I did this with the datagrid about a year and a half ago, unfortunately I don't have that project to hand just now or I'd have a look and see how I did it. All I remember was it wasn't all that hard to do once I'd got that concept. -----Original Message----- From: flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com] On Behalf Of David Kramer Sent: 30 January 2009 20:52 To: flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com Cc: kramer.david@ <mailto:kramer.david%40consultant.com> consultant.com Subject: [flexcoders] drag and drop ('into' the list items, while not adding to the list itself; Ex: iTunes) Hello All. I've run into a problem, need other perspective(s)/solutions: Simply put: I want to implement drag and drop, like iTunes, in an AIR app. Seems easy, but...this particular scenario is puzzling. Right now, just like iTunes, I have two list-based controls (both are populated from collections of data within SQLite), one is a DataGrid and one is a List. Dragging and dropping from the Grid to the List is simple, yes, but I would like to drop on the list item's label/text/name in the List and perform another function (specifically an update to SQLite) and NOT simply drop the item and append to the list. Follow? As in iTunes, you can drag a song into a folder and it adds the song "into" the folder. (I would make that reference in SQLite in this case). It doesn't make a new folder by appending (wrongly) the dropped song to the folder list. (Which is what I have now: If I drag a item from the grid and drop it on the list, it's appended to the list, but I want it to become a value within the list item (pseudo nested) not a value in the list itself.) Is there a simple solution here I'm not seeing? Now, I can do all that neat stuff by dragging a grid item unto a mx:Button, but with only one button. Maybe I could "loop/repeater" to make a vertical stack of buttons from an array? But then it gets unclear as to how each button is created with the necessary dragEnter and dragDrop event handlers... any help here? This wheel has been invented before. So how in Flex?
