Problem with drag items
May 29, 2013
Hi,
I have created a drag and drop interaction where the drag items are shapes with text.
When running the interaction, it is very difficult to pick up the drag items. The mouse pointer only changes to a hand at a specific point on the lower side of the object. This makes it very fiddly to pick up the object. I am expecting the mouse pointer to change whenever the user hovers over the object. Right now this only works for one of the drag items that is a text box rather then a shape. As some of my drag items are oval, I can't create all drag items as text boxes.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Kerstin

Hi Kerstin,
Is it possible that you have created the drag items with no fill rather than a solid colour fill? I have experienced the same issue before but was able to resolve it by adding a solid fill.
If this doesn't resolve your issue, would you be able to post a .story file so we can have a closer look at the issue?

Hi Antony,
Thanks for your reply. I have just tried your suggestion, but it did not seem to resolve the issue. Will post my story later today.
Thanks,

Hi again,
Please find attached the story containing the quiz page in question.
KInd regards,

I wont take any credit for this but your drop items have no fill as Anthony suggested. If you add a fill and set it to 100% transparent then it will work as expected.
Hi Phil,
I changed the fill for "non-operational" to solid transparent, but that did not solve the problem. I have changed the fill for all of my drag items, and it is still tricky to pick them up. What am I doing wrong?
Kind regards,
Kerstin
it shouldnt work like that looks like a bug, set it to 99% transparent and it will work
I changed the fill to white and set transparency to 90% and that seems to have done the trick...don't ask me why however!!
