There is a reason they didn't use the DropShadow filter for panels and
containers. It is VERY expensive on processing. If you are not worried
about that then it dosn't matter.

That is why the dropShadow style is actually a programmatic skin shape.

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}"/>
