I don't think you need to extend any classes. You already know what the text is in the Text Input and you already know the text that the user is dragging so all you need to know is where the user has the mouse at the current moment and where they release the mouse button. The first is so you

There are other cursors you can set it to. That one was to set it back to the standard system cursor. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, gareth_arch gareth_a...@... wrote: This appears to just be for the mouse cursor. It's actually in the TextArea itself (the blinking I bar). I got it

Yeah, that's what I meant. I never ended up changing the arrow to a hand. It's the blinking I (when you click in a TextInput) that is causing the issue. The CursorManager only seems to be for switching the mouse cursor, not stopping the blinking I insertion thing from making Flex think it's

My thought would be to use a modifier key. If the user holds down the Ctrl key while over the text area, change the cursor to a hand, grab the current selection and drag/drop that. I've never done anything like that but it seems reasonable to me ;-} --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com,

Thanks for both of the inputs. The Ctrl + click seems to be a winner with the users, and draggable control seems to work also (I had to switch it to a TextArea, rather than a TextField as it said it wasn't able to convert to an IUIComponent for the drag, but other than that, works great). ---

OK, very close with this now. The final thing is that after I have dragged the value to the TextInputs, and dropped the value into them, the original TextArea still thinks the mouse is over it (so as you move the mouse around it looks like the mouse is still clicked in the TextArea and selects

This appears to just be for the mouse cursor. It's actually in the TextArea itself (the blinking I bar). I got it working by doing a this.setFocus() in the component outside of the TextArea, then it removes the focus. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, valdhor valdhorli...@... wrote: When
