Hopefully you have time for a couple questions.
General Questions:
Your ImageRenderer.mxml component isn't linked in any way to the
DragandDrop.mxml. Is it being used or am I not understanding something?
I am loading my images from an XML file. To connect up my work with
your example, to get my product images to show up on drop, should I
change the performDrop function -
img.source=items[0].src
The proxy image shows up OK, but the drop image doesn't show. I'm
thinking that I'm not referencing the XML path right.
In my app, I have an XML that gets pointed to:
private functionbabResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void{
myProduct = event.result.products.product;
// Hide the busy cursor
CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
}
and my image is the node products.product.thumbnail
I also wanted to point the proxy and dropped image to
products.product.icon, which is a vector version of the product. So
user would see the photo in the TileList, but then the proxy and
dropped version is actually a swf.
Hopefully this makes sense.
Here's my XML in case I wasn't describing it well.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<products>
<product code="KRS1022WC" type="floor" >
<name>Double Bank Work Center</name>
<caption>Double Bank Work Center</caption>
<description>text goes here</description>
<image>images/KRS1022WC.jpg</image>
<thumbnail>images/KRS1022WC_tn.jpg</thumbnail>
<icon>images/KRS1022WC_icon.swf</icon>
</product>
</products>
My XML is loaded via HTTPService into a var myProduct:ArrayCollection,
so I would think it would be releatively easy to swap sources with
your for loop in the init function.
