One of the coolest things in Flex is the ability to create Drag and Drop operations very easily. For List base controls like the List and DataGrid / AdvancedDataGrid, it works out of the box, just set the dragEnabled property of the source and the dropEnabled property of the other and it’s already working. Dragging and Dropping to a Tree however, does not work by simply setting the dropEnabled property. The following example shows you how you can drag items from a DataGrid / AdvancedDataGrid to a Tree.

Just as the MouseWheel controlled slider idea, I had this idea when I was working on my flex MP3 player as well. I wanted to give the user the possibility to add tracks to a playlist by clicking a small plus icon in a DataGrid. There are a couple of things that have to be done to achieve this:
- Use an itemRenderer to show an Image instead of text
- Put the image in button mode so that it can be clicked
- Put an event handler on the click or double-click event of the image
- Code the event handler
