Hey Everyone,

I have set up some lists (\<mx:List\>) in Flex… I have drag and drop working fine, in that I can move elements easily from list to list. For some reason though, my DragInitiator and the currentTarget of my event are the same… even though I am obviously moving from list to list… Does anyone have an example of a function that I can call on my “dragComplete” event that will tell me the current target which will give me the id of the List object I am dropping on?

This is my current function which is always returning true…

```auto

private function _dropped(e:DragEvent):void
            {
                trace(e.dragInitiator == e.currentTarget);
            }

```

Thanks!
