Sortable: Dragging SWFs causes the SWFs to be re-created

[rantkowi]

I am trying to use jQuery UI Draggable to allow the user to drag around a DIV that contains innerHTML which defines a HTML object such as a flash SWF.

When the user begins to drag (and I also believe when the user stops dragging) I noticed that the plugin object is re-created (and in the process, the previous state of what the user was doing with the plugin is lost.)

I assume that this is happening because of the call to:

var clonedEl = elm.cloneNode(true);

inside of dragstart : function(e) (in the file idrag.js.)

What is idrag.js? Where is that coming from? We can't fix your code without even taking a look.

I too am experiencing trouble with this.

Here's my example at ​http://jsbin.com/areko/2 . (code at ​http://jsbin.com/areko/2/edit) Play the youtube movie, then try to drag the element its contained it, and the movie will reset.

Any solution to this would be greatly appreciated

This is only happening on a sortable, and not on a draggable: ​http://jsfiddle.net/Dv4kD/1/ Not sure if we want to fix this bug, but I'll mark it as open for now.

I'm going to close this since I have a feeling people aren't sorting SWF objects anymore.
