Thanks to the hard work of Nicolas Zeh the component I did some time ago (draggable controller) has now lot of changes!

• a new name: DragController
• drag and drop multiple items at once if multipleSelection is set to true for a component
• added the following methods to the DragEvent Object:
• evt.checkType
• evt.addItem
• evt.removeItem
• evt.addAndRemoveItem
• the methods were renamed to fit Macromedias naming conventions for methods
• i lowered the addReference restriction that both components have to be UIComponents. Now only the source has to be an UIComponent and the target suffices to be a MovieClip.
• added a veto method for the “drag_start” event. So user can decide on this Event if he would like to allow dragging of this specific item.
• added an onDropData method besides the Event handlers. So you can assign this method directly to a defined target component.
• added flags similar to DragAndDropTree component. These are:
• DENYDRAGFOLDER (only tree component)
• DENYDRAGITEM (only tree component, as i makes no sense for other components)
• DENYDROPINTOITEM (only tree component)
• DENYDROPINTOFOLDER (only tree component)
• DENYDROPINTO (only tree component)
• DENYDROPINBETWEEN this option disallows setting a specific target index position and will add the item at the end of the List, DataGrid, Tree
• removed some bugs concerning Focus on Component and selectedItems. But i am not sure if there aren’t some left due to Flash’s strange Focus mechanisms. (sure, I still haven’t understood the focus mechnism of MM components)

There’s also a very comprehensive help of the component (just look in the F1 flash help panel)
