Hey Alex, That doesn't work. Grabbing the cursor from the system manager and then setting it's x value to a constant does indeed keep the cursor on a vertical line but the problem is then the drag proxy image is following your old mouse position (looks somewhat ghost like :).
I then tried accessing the drag proxy directly by grabbing it from the system manager and setting the x, to no avail. The problem is that the drag proxy's mouse move event fires before the one I added even when I set the priority to 10000. I think it has to do something with DragProxy having an [Excluded] meta tag. There were even some comments in that class mentioning that the developer was having some troubles. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > No, I would go to systemManager.cursorChildren.
