Flex Drag-and-Drop: The Definitive Tutorial

Flex After Dark has just published a new (our first) tutorial on how to Drag-and-Drop in Flex.

Drag-and-drop lets you move components and transfer data in a Flex application via the mouse and ubiquitous "click-drag-drop" paradigm. All Flex components support drag-and-drop operations with the proper enablement.

1. Create a Project and Application
2. Create some Boxes (one for dragging, one for dropping)
3. Make the Red Box Draggable
4. Make the Blue Box a Drop Target
5. Handle the Drop
6. Show Feedback
