[flexcoders] Flex 2 - Drag-n-Drop with TabNavigator

[Wayne McFetridge]

Happy Independence Day to American Based Flex developers. I am trying to drag and drop over a TabNavigator -- ie drag something over a "tab" to have it open that tab . I have done a bit of drag and drop with datagrids etc but my question is how to do I find out which of the TabNavigator's children I am "over" (will only allow drop on certain tabs etc) this obviously feeds into what child have i dropped onto. In list based controls you can use "calculateDropIndex" which according to the docs Returns the item index in the drop target where the item will be dropped. Used by the dragDrop event listener to add the items in the correct location. Not available in the TileList or HorizontalList controls. I had hoped for something similar in my TabNavigator Am I overloooking something really simple ? Hope so Thanks Wayne McFetridge --
