RE: [flexcoders] drag and drop ('into' the list items, while not adding to the list itself; Ex: iTunes)

Yes, all the data is in SQLite and available as an arraycollection to everything when creation complete kicks. I'm just trying to get the URL of an image that is already in a grid of images to be added to a presentation (within the presentation table) when the image is dropped on the presentation

RE: [flexcoders] drag and drop ('into' the list items, while not adding to the list itself; Ex: iTunes)

I've explored many many options, but still cannot seem to get the item rendered in a list (the label) to be the drop target. It's always the damn list itself I really stripped down code to bare bones and pasted it below for simplicity and clarity, but...no dice. Another set of eyes please?

If you write your own drag/drop handlers and call preventDefault, you can do anything you want, or nothing. There are lots of examples in the docs. Tracy Spratt Lariat Services Flex development bandwidth available From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com

So I think what you really need to be doing is to have the list item renderer accept the drop, rather than the list itself? I'm sure I did this with the datagrid about a year and a half ago, unfortunately I don't have that project to hand just now or I'd have a look and see how I did it. All I

Yes! Last night around 2 AM I thought Oh, the item renderer should accept it and then I went to sleep. But I'm still puzzled as to how to fire the proper SQL statement for each drop; essentially it's an INSERT [URL from drop] INTO table WHERE column = [the drop acceptor's label string].

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/dragdrop_8.html Now that only give you control over the drop functionality. You still need to extract the necessary key values form the source and target data, and build your update data structure and send it to the server, however you are doing that.

But I'm still puzzled as to how to fire the proper SQL statement for each drop; essentially it's an INSERT  [URL from drop] INTO table WHERE column = [the drop acceptor's label string]. So it's [URL from drop] and [the drop acceptor's label string] values that you need, essentially?, or
