Is drag and drop planned for Flex in the future (beyond 8.5) or is their some kind of fundamental reason not to have it? I have a feeling it can be done already but not it should be made easier. Drag and drop is a common feature of rich user interfaces.
On the second point, I've been told on this list that the Flex-to-desktop interface is very tricky to implement. I have yet to see any documentaion/examples on how to do it. This aspect of Flex should be made simpler for developers who don't mind having their users install servers on the desktop.

That's not something that Player 8.5 is going to support I think. There
might be other tricks but the Player itself won't understand the drag
and drop.

Subject: [flexcoders] Drag & drop *from* the user's file system into a
Flex 2.0 app
I know the Flash player is limited in its ability interact with the
user's file system. I'm wondering if a Flex 2.0 application (and the
new Flash player) has the ability to enable a user to drag a file or
folder *from the file system* onto a Flex app and have the app perform
an action (such as reading meta data on the files, uploading them,
etc.). Does anybody have any insight about this?
thanks,
David
