Drag and Drop Files

This sample shows how to enable your application to accept and handle drag-and-drop files using the mWindow.onDragFiles() and mWindow.onDropFiles() event handlers, respectively.

mWindow.onDragFiles() provides a list of files dragged onto the application. Code in this event handler can test the extension of each file. If an extension type matches a file type that the application accepts, the handler returns true.

mWindow.onDragFiles = function(files) {
	var extension:String;
	var okToDropThisFile:Boolean = false;
	for (var i = 0; i<files.length; i++) {
		if (!mFile.isFolder(files[i])) { // do not accept folders
			extension = getFileExtension(files[i]);
			if (extension == "swf") {
				okToDropThisFile = true;
			} 
		}
	}
	return okToDropThisFile;
};

mWindow.onDropFiles() provides an array of files dropped on the application and opportunity to take action on the drop event
