List allowing to transfer data via drag & drop

The dndList is an element list that allows users to transfer element object data elsewhere, including between two lists, simply by dragging and dropping the elements. Each element has its own data object which contains the name of the object and the properties added with the component methods. With the dndList component you can, for example, create a list of your contacts and attach their properties (type, name, e-mail, etc...) to the list elements. When a user drags the elements onto a form, any of the properties can be copied to the form. If it's is a form for sending e-mail, you would probably copy the e-mail address into the recipient text field. The list elements can work as buttons, drag'n'drop items or both. This component contains 18 documented ActionScript methods.
