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.

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[import flash.filters.*;
private var dropShadowFilter:Array=new Array(new DropShadowFilter(3,45,0x000000,.6));
]]>
</mx:Script><mx:Panel filters="{dropShadowFilter}"/>
