The TitleWindow is automatically draggable. The TitleWindow
implements the Box layout by default. If you want to use some other
layout, you can put all your stuff within another container inside
your TitleWindow-derived class.
Pseudocode for sample TitleWindow-based MXML component:
<mx:TitleWindow>
<mx:Tile>
<!-- stuff -->
<mx:Tile>
</mx:TitleWindow>
Then you can pop up the TitleWindow-based component using
PopUpManager.createPopUp()

The only container that support automatic dragging is the TitleWindow.
As mentioned above, you can wrap all your stuff inside a TitleWindow
inside another container like Tile or Canvas to get the desired
effect.

TitleWindow is the best option. If you still want to write your own
dragging code, here's an example of draggable images:
