View 1 RepliesI need to be able to have a user drag multiple images from the locate file system onto the flash/flex/html5 app which will then taker the file name details and contact the server.Upon server response then upload the file ( assuming server validation passed ).I know this can be done in Java but that is not an option.Please do not suggest the FileReference.browse function as the retouchers are to stupid(no joke here) to use this and it has to be drag and drop.This has to work with all current versions of the popular browsers( hrome,FireFox,IE,Safari)What it comes down to is I want to put an image up on the web page stating drop here and allow them to upload the file(s) by dropping on it.

View 2 RepliesI'm not an expert in actionscript but I know a thing or two, but basically I've been given a task in a new web-based piece of software whereby users can drag and drop objects onto a background bitmap. The amount of objects and the co-ordinates of each object will then need to be saved for each user, so when they log back in (regardless of what machine they are using, they'll see where they have left off.)I've seen mentions of using the shared object, but this won't do as the user will not always be using the same machine.

View 1 RepliesI have added drag and drop to some of my custom components.The drag event is fired on mouse down.If you mouse down and move the component around then drop it repeatedly its fine.But if you mousedown and drag the component around drop it and THEN just click on the component it inits the drag but doesn't fire the drop event.Its almost like you have to move the component for it to fire the drag drop event.This is very annoying as i'm removing the component on drag init and adding it again on drop, so just clicking on it makes it disappear.

I'm new to CS5 and AS3, I'm creating an educational game for a project and have used the code snippets (with minor tweeking) to create a drag and drop question where the user has to drag a shape to the right amount of corners. (The game is for 4-7 year olds)I've got all of the drag and drop to work, however I am struggling with a way to use a submit button to lead the user to a seperate page (frame) that will give them feedback.
