Details

The _drop method is called automatically after a drag site object has been dropped on a drop site object. The drop site is passed the data returned from the _getDragData method. The _drop method is the last method to be called in the drop sequence. It is to be used to perform any function that might require a new frame or application to be run. Make sure to test the representation and the action before responding to the drop.

X and Y are the pixel offsets of the drop within the drop zone. These values are good only for nonwidget drop zones. Op passed in may not be one of Move, Copy, or Link if a drop action was placed on the drop site. In that case, it can be one of those actions.
