I found a way to kindof do this.
It's not perfect but I guess it's acceptable.
It only works as long as you don't move the mouse outside the container that
you want to restrict dragging to.
Once you mouse out of the container the proxy goes wherever the mouse goes
again.
Pretty weak.
I will post again if I find a better solution.
override protected function dragOverHandler(event:DragEvent):void{
super.dragOverHandler(event);
this.dragProxy = DragManager.mx_internal::dragProxy;
this.dragProxy.y = this.localToGlobal(new Point(this.x, this.y)).y;
/* if(DragAndDropRules.canDropHere(event.){
} */
}
