Scot, Actually, it's documented how to make any UI component draggable. You can use the drag and drop APIs documented here (conceptual info): http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00000954.html and here (API reference): http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/mx/managers/DragManager.ht ml http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/mx/core/DragSource.html http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/mx/events/DragEvent.html Something like this should help you get you started (drag the legend onto the canvas): <?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";> <mx:Script><![CDATA[ import mx.core.DragSource; import mx.managers.DragManager; import mx.events.*; import mx.containers.Canvas; import mx.collections.ArrayCollection; [Bindable] public var expenses:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([ {Expense: "Taxes", Amount: 2000, Cost:321, Discount:131}, {Expense: "Bills", Amount: 100, Cost: 478, Discount: 841} ]); private function dragIt(event:MouseEvent):void { var dragInitiator:Legend=Legend(event.currentTarget); var ds:DragSource = new DragSource(); var legendProxy:Legend = new Legend(); DragManager.doDrag(dragInitiator, ds, event, legendProxy); } private function doDragEnter(event:DragEvent):void { var dropTarget:Panel=Panel(event.currentTarget); DragManager.acceptDragDrop(dropTarget); } private function doDragDrop(event:DragEvent):void { var currentPanel:Panel = Panel(event.currentTarget); //var data:Object = event.dragSource.dataForFormat('title'); currentPanel.addChild(myLegend); } ]]></mx:Script> <mx:Panel id="panel1" title="Bar Chart with Legend in Panel"> <mx:BarChart id="myChart" dataProvider="{expenses}"> <mx:verticalAxis> <mx:CategoryAxis dataProvider="{expenses}" categoryField="Expense"/> </mx:verticalAxis> <mx:series> <mx:BarSeries xField="Amount" displayName="Amount (in $USD)"/> <mx:BarSeries xField="Cost" displayName="Cost (in $USD)"/> <mx:BarSeries xField="Discount" displayName="Discount (in $USD)"/> </mx:series> </mx:BarChart> <mx:Panel id="legendPanel" title="Legend"> <mx:Legend id="myLegend" dataProvider="{myChart}" mouseMove="dragIt(event)"/> </mx:Panel> </mx:Panel> <mx:Panel id="myPanel" width="300" height="150" title="Drag Legend Onto Me" dragEnter="doDragEnter(event);" dragDrop="doDragDrop(event);"/> </mx:Application> hth, matt horn flex docs > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of dinger0007 > Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 10:54 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Can a legend be draggable? > > So I assume that since the people here are the best in the > business that being able to create a dragable legend on a > graph is not possible. > > --- In [email protected] > <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "dinger0007" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I was having space issues with a legend and thought that > the ability > > to drag a legend around the graph would be cool.
