Those movieclips will have a parent. Do they all have the same parent? For example, sometimes, someone uses something like mx:Image to show an image based on some selection. If that mx:Image was the drop target, then the internal widgets don't have to be.

I'm not sure where it lives now. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of quiet.mountain Sent: Friday, December 14, 2007 3:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How to use DragManager.acceptDragDrop() when target is a MovieClip?
