DragDrop a ".textClipping"?

[Barry Levine]

Jeanne,

Thanks for the info. Dropping a clipping produces the contents of the 
clipping rather than the path when using "put the dragData". So I 
changed that line of code to: put the dragData["files"] and that 
yielded the path.

Are there others who have managed to drag & drop files of types that 
are not normally supported in Rev? I'm thinking of pdf in particular 
but any other types are of interest, as well. If you have, perhaps you 
can point to an example that shows how to do this?

Thanks very much,
Barry
