My Milieu of Musings

I am creating a drag/drop app currently, using a List as my drag initiator, but using a VBox as the dropTarget.  Strangely enough, I could only get the dragEnter event to fire when I moused over the border.  But the interior was "dead"--that is not droppable.

                <mx:VBox  id="conditionsContainer" label="if" 

                    width="100%" height="100%" horizontalAlign="right"

                    borderStyle="solid" 

                    dragEnter="dragEnterHandler(event)" dragDrop="dragDropHandler(event)" />

But it worked fine in this example.  Turns out, there was no "element" to drop on.  I had to provide a background of some sort to the VBox for it to pick up the event.

                <mx:VBox  id="conditionsContainer" label="if" 

                    width="100%" height="100%" horizontalAlign="right"

                    borderStyle="solid"  backgroundColor="#FFFFFF"

                    dragEnter="dragEnterHandler(event)" dragDrop="dragDropHandler(event)" />
