Rép : problem with drag-dropping a text string (was: Re: use-revolution Digest, Vol 55, Issue 24)

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Peter,

I made further experiments and I found that setting the dragData 
["text"] to the dragData["text"] && "modified" did not work when  
setting the dragData["text"] to <some string> works.
So would the following, using the selectedText function, work for you:

on dragStart
   set the dragdata["text"] to Transform(the selectedText) --
end dragStart
-----------------------
function Transform pText
   return pText && "modified"
end Transform
