Hi… What do I need to do to accept a drop on a card or image object? Currently I am seeing the "crossed out circle" on any areas other than fields.

Thanks.

Hi,

yes, Drag'n'Drop of text (to fields) does work out of the box wihtout any scripting.
Everything elsre needs to be scripted.

What exactly do you want to do?
What object(s) need to acceopt the DROPping?
Put the fielnames into a field? Set filename of images/pkayers?
Need to know this to give you a working example for your needs

Ah, and welcome to the forum!

Thanks Klaus!

I have a number of things I want to do, but why don't we start with just one as I am guessing I'll figure out the rest when I know what to do for this one.

I want to drag a file from the Finder to a card. On drop, I'd like to verify it is an image and if so, create a new image object and set it to the dropped image file.

What I get from this is that the destination requires a dragEnter handler. I have put one in the card script. The message is not sent when I drag a file from the Finder to the card. It is sent to a field on the card if the mouse is over that.

I am looking to drop the file on the card (and not a cd object).

Hi,

a stack will tell more than thousand words
It also shows a workaround for the fact that "naked" cards do not accept DROPping.

ROTFL. I did something similar, importing an image, sizing it to the stack size, and setting its blendlevel to 100. Same effect.

Thank you both. No card level drops being allowed was indeed the issue.
