On the money once again Alex, thanks.
I've not eliminated startDrag() and stopDrag() from my code as things
seem to work correctly now, but am curious to know why you avoid them.
Can you provide some of your reasoning?
Thanks,
Ben

Dang Alex, you're the man. I never would have figured out its because
of the textfield. Your proposed solution of an invisible item over the
titlebar works perfectly, and since my real use case is a subclass of
Panel I can easily integrate this approach.
One odd thing maybe you can enlighten me on though is that it seems
like I have to create the cover piece in updateDisplayList() because
doing it in createChildren() doesn't work. The item isn't even visible
if I create it in createChildren(). Any ideas why? Here is the code I
have tried inside both methods.
if(!c)
{
c = new Canvas();
c.x = c.y = 0;
c.width = this.width;
c.height = this.titleBar.height;
c.setStyle(backgroundColor, 0x00);
this.rawChildren.addChild(c);
}
Thanks a ton, greatly appreciated.

I see. I dind't realize you were saying that MOUSE_LEAVE doesn't work

So yeah, I tried it myself and it isn't working right. I don't think

I am dragging a panel. MOUSE_UP_OUTSIDE_STAGE accurately describes
what happens in Firefox, but in IE nothing fires at all. If you run
the code from my initial post in both browsers you will see what I mean.
It does not fire when you drag out of the stage.
Not sure what you mean by that since in order to know about a
MOUSE_UP_OUTSIDE_STAGE the mouse button would obviously have to be
down when the mouse leaves the stage.
you can do that
How?
(but you can't change the mouse cursor position)
Not sure I follow.

DragManager and Panel's built-in approach. Panel's
stage_mouseLeaveHandler() listens for MOUSE_LEAVE so it suffers from

Regarding the avoidance of startDrag/stopDrag, I take it you mean I

The behavior is just like if you drag past the bounds and release
without having defined a MOUSE_UP listener for the stage. This makes
it impossible to cancel a drag operation if the user's mouse leaves
the stage with the mouse button down. Again, this is only in IE.
Pretty sure this is a bug but will wait for confirmation before

It really should be called MOUSE_UP_OUTSIDE_STAGE. It does not fire when you drag out of the stage. If your goal is to keep the dragged thing within a certain portion of the screen, you can do that (but you can't change the mouse cursor position).

Panel's stage_mouseLeaveHandler() listens for MOUSE_LEAVE so it suffers from the same fate as startDrag(). DragManager, as far as I can tell, provides no way to limit the drag area. DragManager also doesn't seem to provide any (easy) way to do live dragging. I assume the only way to accomplish it would be to copy the dragged component into a ByteArray and use that as an Image's source for the dragProxy. As I said, these are only based on initial tests so please let me know if there is something I am overlooking. As it turns out I really hope that is the case.

They should fix it. However, since that scenario is not recommended in Flex, I'm not going to verify it. And yes, use DragManager or your own code (Panel has its own code) From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com ] On Behalf Of ben.clinkinbeard Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 6:10 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: MOUSE_LEAVE never fires in IE if drag with bounds is active Hi Alex, Not quite sure how to take your comment. Do you mean file it against the player or whatever? Regarding the avoidance of startDrag/stopDrag, I take it you mean I should rewrite the code to utilize DragManager?

I'm not even going to bother to confirm. It is a player API. We avoid startDrag/stopDrag for many other reasons and handle dragging in separate code in Flex From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com
