I think if you search list archives for DragDrop you will find an example of dragging a text or text field.
I have been able to successfully work with drag-and-drop with text, but not with PICTURES. My original posting, in regards to the 2 problems I encountered with drag-and-drop:
PROBLEM 1:
I'm having trouble dragging IMAGE information. I want to allow the user to drag an image onto an 'imageWell' object. I'M STARTING THE DRAG INSIDE REVOLUTION, and the dragSource is an image object. The imageWell is another image object, and should accept the drag if there is image information in the dragged object (the dragData). Upon drop, the imageWell should display the image. My problem is that the documentation is a bit unclear as to WHAT exactly it is that I should be putting into the dragData["image"]. The documentation merely states the the dragData["image"] should contain 'an image in PNG format'. So, here is what I tried:
a) Make new stack. Place a ',png' image in it (our 'source'), and place an 'empty' image object somewhere else in the card (our 'target' object) - which will be our 'imageWell'.
b) In the source image, as per instructions in the language guide, I added the following script:
on mouseDown set the dragData["image"] to me end mouseDown
c) In the target image, I added the following script:
on dragEnter
if dragData["image"' is not empty then set the showBorder of me to true
end dragEnter
on dragLeave set the showBorder of me to false end dragLeave
on dragDrop put dragData["image"] into me end dragDrop
This doesn't work. It appears that dragData["image"] is empty, as there is no change in the appearance of the target image. So I tried changing mouseDown handler of the source image, so that what is stored is the 'imageData':
on mouseDown set the dragData["image"] to the imageData of me end mouseDown
No change - except that it does something nasty to Revolution (changes cursors, slows it down) and I have to quite and re-launch... I cannot find any other hints in the documentation as to what it is that I should be doing. Could anyone shed some light?
PROBLEM 2:
In MacOS X, when a user drags an item, there is usually quite a bit of visual feedback given to the user. When a user is dragging something, there is usually a transparent image right underneath the cursor, giving the user some visual hint as to WHAT is being dragged.
It seems to me that in RunRev, the only visual feedback we can give the user is by changing the cursor image... Is that correct? - or would there be a way to drag a custom 'transparent image', like in OS X, while dragging between windows and applications?
Any suggestions or hints on either problem much appreciated.
