If DnD is from one tree to another tree, after drop is complete, the target tree scroll just by mouse movement (without pressing the scroll bar). Looks like auto scroll is not reset. Any one came across this issue?

Hi Jason,

I’m trying to load the XML document thru a URLLoader class and the whole XML document gets loaded as a node.Please advice on what might be wrong.
Thanks..
Priya

private function handleComplete( event:Event ):void {
try {

Model.instance.treeData = new XML( event.target.data ).copy();
trace(Model.instance.treeData.toXMLString() );

} catch ( e:TypeError ) {
trace( “Could not parse text into XML” );
trace( e.message );
}
}

public function AlertInfoCommand()
{
super();
m_httpService.url = Model.DEBUG ? “test.jsp” : Model.URL;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete );
loader.load(new URLRequest(“sampleData.xml”));
//Controller.instance.addEventListener( AlertInfoEvent.TYPE, getMsgHandler );
}

Actually, now “view source” seems to work for me in either 9 or 10, debug or not. When I was trying it before with Flash 10, I thought it didn’t work. I was probably just doing something dumb though.

For all you folks who can’t get the source – you need to be running Flash 9. I was running Flash 10 debug. Once you’re running 9, you right click and you’ll get a context menu that says “View Source”.

Incidentally, there’s a Firefox flash switcher plugin that works for switching between flash versions. It doesn’t say that it works for Flash 10 but it worked for me. It’s basically just copying around a couple files.

Jason,

There seems to be some issue when you try to drag in a tree that has leaf nodes longer than the height of the window. The list hops up and you lose your place in the list.

Hi Jason,

I have been working with the older version of this component until I’ve found it. I believe both versions are great, I like the additions to the new one and I’d like to use it, but it has a bug that I can’t seem to pin down.

The bug is this one: if you drag a leaf/node and place it in the previous level, it works fine. Once you try to do so with the next one, it’s not working anymore. This happens 99% of the times, both upper and lower sometimes, the only pattern I could discover is that once I dragOver above parent node, the selectedItem blue indicator dissapears, sort of like: nothing to drop anymore.

Could you please help me out? Any ideas?

Again, great component, caught my ears in it trying to make it what I need it to be, but if I wouldn’t had this starting point it would have been more complicated.

EDIT: apparently solution: commented akmeful’s line 662 like this:

if(openedFolderHierarchy.length > 0){
//openItems = openedFolderHierarchy;
}

Thank you,
Cristi

I have just tried to use your SpringLoadedTree v2 inside of Flex 3 and am receiving some errors. I am using acceptDrop and acceptDrag properties on the collection and receive the following errors when trying to drag items around.

TypeError: Error #1006: parent is not a function.

Nice work, I would fry my last braincells to understand what you did in there, but it sure seems to work fine.. does anyone know how to keep a selected folder open while switch xmllist dp.. will show all the same folders but switch type of leafs from a tab with users|computers|other etc.. ah..dont mind if I am unclear..

Hi there,

I am requesting for the source code. I don’t find in your website or my eyes will be not good to find in your website. Can you please send the link for this complex tree handling similar to whatever you have. Really appreciated!

How do you get the scroll to work on the SpringTree when your dragging an item. In your example.. if you expand all nodes so the list is longer than the viewable space and then try to drag and item from the top of the list to the bottom.. the tree will scroll. I downloaded your source code and ran it without any changes.. My tree doesn’t scroll but the one on your web site does.. Do I need to do something special?

Also, How do I get the tree to reject drops from non-branch items when dropping on the root row?

By: flexibleexperiments

flexibleexperiments — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 16:07:20 +0000

Yes it’s very doable. You would have to modify the handleDragOver where it calls itemAcceptDrop to add your test or do another test just after or before it.

Basically, If the currentCursorID is equal to the rejectCursorID the drop is ignored.

I wanted to customize the Drop eligibility check (only certain type of node can be dropped on certain type of nodes). Wondering if this is easily doable with Spring Tree

Dude your component freaking rocks! I love how it has multiple selections! Keep it up man!

Hi Jason,
great work! Thanks a lot. I was wondering if there is a way to show the tree completely expanded.
Something like expandall()
