Say you have an HBox, and inside that HBox you have lots of little child 
HBoxes. Now, you want to rearrange the child HBoxes using drag and drop.  Using 
Flex, it's pretty easy to enable drag/drop support. However, the dragover event 
seems to fire at odd points.

As I drag a child HBox around the main HBox, I sometimes see the invalid drag 
icon, even though it should be valid. If it disallowed dragging one child over 
another, I could understand that. But even that seems random, with some 
portions of the children showing as valid drag targets, and others not. With a 
small number of children, it was odd but not debilitating. With a large number 
of children, it became entirely untenable. If I have ten children, I can't drop 
the items anywhere except the first half of it's width.

Is there another element to this that affects where an object becomes a drop 
target or not? Variable width perhaps? Padding? I'm at a loss.
