I am attempting to create a online store using Flex. I added a TitleList for products the the users can drag and drop into a datagrid (shopping cart) to purchase. My problem is that I have no idea how to access the data in the DragSource to use to check to see if the item already exists (to update the quantity rather than add another one) or update the Singleton to use to check out. The titlelist item should include productName, img, price attributes in an ArrayCollection.
I see the dataForFormat method on the event.dragsource but what do I use for the String argument? For the product name would I try something like event.dragsource.dataForFormat("productName")? I tried something like that but my code errored out saying that it was a null attribute...but it could have been something else. Does anyone know how to pull a property out of the dragged item? Examples or links? Thanks!
