[flexcoders] Re: Drag and drop, custom cursor during drag not working

[invertedspear]

I managed to finally get this one figured out

here is what I had to do:

1)remove the listeners for rollOver, rollOut, and mouseUp from the mxml and add 
rollOver and rollOutthem through the addEventListener method in AS

2) add the listener dragComplete to the mxml and assign the function previously 
assigned to mouseUP to it

3) change the main function to this:

public function over(evt:Event):void{ //on mouse over, added with AS
    CursorManager.removeAllCursors();
    CursorManager.setCursor(grabCursor,CursorManagerPriority.LOW,-7,-7);
    var styleSheet:CSSStyleDeclaration = 
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("DragManager");
    styleSheet.setStyle("moveCursor",grabbingCursor); //style set for the drag 
cursor
}
public function down(evt:Event):void{ // on mouse down
    CursorManager.removeAllCursors();
    CursorManager.setCursor(grabbingCursor,CursorManagerPriority.LOW,-7,-7);
    sectQuestionsDG.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,over);
    sectQuestionsDG.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,out);
    //this is why I had to take it off the mxml, can only remove listeners
    //added with the addEventListener, I don't remember where I read that.
}
public function up(evt:Event):void{
    CursorManager.removeAllCursors();
    CursorManager.setCursor(grabCursor,CursorManagerPriority.LOW,-7,-7);
    sectQuestionsDG.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,over);
    sectQuestionsDG.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,out);
}
public function out(evt:Event):void{
    CursorManager.removeAllCursors();
}
