Matt,
here is the sample:
http://www.oscartrelles.com/projects/flex/bin/main.html
here are the exact problems you will notice:
1. No drag-selection ( just shift-control-click )
2. Dragging multiple items is buggy:
- Items in a row appear superimposed
- Distance between visible items and mouse cursor is misleading
- Insertion line needs to be vertical
if there is any way to fix these - please let us know asap because we
need to make a HUGE dicision on which software strategy to go with.
thanks in advance.
