Hi, If there is no clean way to do it ( i would still look further ), a nasty hack would be something like this:
- when the drag starts. - determine the mc below the mouse at that time ( take a look at lowlevelevents, if that doesn't do it, I can give you a snippet that works just fine ) - traverse up the _parents till you hit the one you want ---- how to test?... ------ first, assert that the mc is of the class that renders the item you want ( probably one in the mx.controls.listclasses package ) ------ then you'll have to look at the specific api for a way to get the data item. Or perhaps the index in the list, which is more generic. There are others way to do the testing, use your imagination. This is where exploring the api gets fun. Anyway, I would still look for a cleaner solution first. Best, Aldo On 8/4/05, Douglas Knudsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > but which on eof those items is the mouse on?
