Hi Hank,

You can use any of the available Flash filters, for simple control/container skinning, by setting the filters property.  The following method gives you a little more control over drop shadow than the shadow style properties.  Check the docs for the syntax of the other available filters.

-TH

<mx:Script>
 <![CDATA[

       import flash.filters.*;       
       private var dropShadowFilter:Array=new Array(new DropShadowFilter(3,45,0x000000,.6));

]]>
</mx:Script>

<mx:Panel filters="{dropShadowFilter}"/>
