Draggable Input Text

[groggg]

I am trying to create input text that can be dragged. When I stick the input in a movie clip I can make it draggable, but not edit it. I have even tried Selection.setFocus(text); but this doesn't work either.

Have you tried using the DraggablePane component (Flash MX)? I just tried it, and it worked greate. What I did was create a movie clip with an input text box. Then I dragged an instance of the DraggablePane component onto the stage and had it call the movie I just created.

Hope this helps.

Do you mean a "ScrollPAne," I don't have a "draggable pane" in my componenents. Do you have a sample, or more explanation. I still don't get what you mean.

From the Macromedia website, you can download a second set of components, called Flash UI Components Set 2, that includes a calendar component, tree component, draggablePane component, and a few others. The last time I checked, this download was free.

They also have another set, called Flash UI Components Set 3, but for that one I believe they charge you.

Here's a link to where you can download the component set 2:
