@Stephen Problem solved. This was being caused by setting the enabled property of another component based upon mx:VBox to true, which for some reason would subsequently disallow any dragImage from displaying anywhere in the application. I suppose I should change that component over to spark. Now if I could only get Image children in custom a spark ItemRender to display in the dragging state.

I can’t get the dragging states of custom spark ItemRenderers to display in my application. I even tried using the ItemRenderer above and it does not work for me. Yes, drag and drop is working, but the display of the drag image is not.

In my project, the display hierarchy for my component is something like s:TitleWindow > mx:Accordion > s:NavigatorContent > s:List > s:ItemRenderer.

I’ve been trying this with the Tree control and it seems to work a bit differently… the dragging state for example isn’t set by the tree control from what I understand… though its certainly possible to do so from the tree’s dragStarted event.

Hi Markus,
Sorry about that, I’ll have it fixed when I get a little bit of extra time. In the mean time you can use the source code link at the bottom of the post – you should be able to download the zipped sources. Let me know if that doesn’t work for you.

Could you share the source code? View Source is enabled but I get a 404.
Thanks.

Hey Guys,

I actually created the data by hand, just plotted some line coordinates to outline an arrow (that took some tweaking). But yeah, definitely exporting from some of the CS apps or Catalyst makes more sense
