Assume you have two web applications running in two different tabs/windows in your browser. Is there a predefined interface in IE, Firefox or Google Chrome to pass data between the two windows? If so it should be possible to implement drag’n drop, right?
Because I don’t think this is possible I wonder if the same could be achieved with Flash.
This sums up to the following question: Is it possible to implement cross-application drag’n drop behaviour with Javascript/DOM or Flash?
I think you’ll find an answer in the Chrome Experiment’s Browser Ball.
In short, there is no good way to do this – but you’ll see it’s definitely possible.
Edit: I suppose I should make clear: you’re very limited in what you can actually pass stuff between, and the browsers which are supported. What it seems like you’re actually trying to accomplish may be impossible, but the general concept of passing between multiple windows is “possible”.
