[Xerte] Dragging multiple objects

[Dave Burnett]

I think I see what's happening.
My frame has a transparent hole in it for the mov/controls.
But that trans part stays hot.

I wanted the user to be able to drag it by the mov as well as frame, so I guess I can chop the lower bit off the frame that is behind the controls  and put in a separate display.

That’s why you need a child that starts the drag,  PG  DIS //handle events on this below  MOV  INT    EVT – onPress forDIS above, PG.startDrag    --    MovieControls    -- From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Dave Burnett

Hmm.

Have the multiple objects dragging, but the movie controller is hot as well.

Subject: RE: [Xerte] Dragging multiple objectsof your own devising? Make sure they all have the same parent, and drag that, I'd think about using a decision icon's page as the container for your player. Then users can drag that. You could have a title bar icon in the page that starts the drag: draw a rectangle into the page's first display icon, set up event handlers for it, and when you handle onPress / onRelease / onReleaseOutside, start / stop dragging the page itself via the page's ID.

Subject: RE: [Xerte] Dragging multiple objectsmake sure you handle onRelease and onReleaseOutside: that will nail the not dropping problem. For multiple objects, I guess loop over an array and startDrag on each item: you want to simultaneously drag several things?

Subject: [Xerte] Dragging multiple objectsAny best practices?

I have noticed before that if the user drags an object quickly then drops it, the "mouse up" sometimes gets missed and the object(s) will then continue to follow the cursor around.

Any way to avoid all the defensive programming?
