Each format of data is identified with a string. The
hasFormat() method is used to determine if the object has
data in that format. The dataForFormat() method is used
to retrieve the data in the specified format.
Data can be added directly using the addData() method,
or indirectly using the addHandler() method. The
addHandler() method registers a callback that will be called
if the data is requested. This is useful for adding data in a non-native
format that may require large computations or conversions. For example,
if you have raw sound data you can add an MP3 format handler. The MP3
conversion will only be done if the MP3 data is requested.

| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Adds data and a corresponding format String to the drag source. This method does not return a value.
Parameters
data:Object — Object that specifies the drag data.
This can be any object, such as a String, a DataProvider, and so on.
| |
format:String — String that specifies a label that describes
the format for this data.
|
addHandler | () | method |
public function addHandler(handler:Function, format:String):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Adds a handler that is called when data for the specified format is requested. This is useful when dragging large amounts of data. The handler is only called if the data is requested. This method does not return a value.
Parameters
handler:Function — Function that specifies the handler
called to request the data.
This function must return the data in the specified format.

dataForFormat | () | method |
public function dataForFormat(format:String):Object| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Retrieves the data for the specified format.
If the data was added with the addData() method,
it is returned directly.
If the data was added with the addHandler() method,
the handler function is called to return the data.
Parameters
format:String — String that specifies a label that describes
the format for the data to return. This string can be a custom value
if you are creating a custom drop target with the addData() method.
List-based controls have predefined values
for the |
