Douglas,
Michael has probably nailed it. As I was getting up to speed with XML I
constantly found myself baffled by my results (as reported by trace
statements) until I realized that I need to always trace xml.toXMLString()
to get the code I was actually curious about (otherwise, XML objects with
"simple" content will simply display the content, which is often blank).

Hi Douglas,
It is carrying the leaf nodes properly; I think the issue revolved around
how you were trying to display the items.
public function handleMe(event:DragEvent) : void {
var ds:Array = event.dragSource.dataForFormat("treeItems") as
Array;
for( var i:int = 0; i < ds.length; i++ ){
trace(XML(ds[i]).toXMLString());
}
}
Hope this helps,
Michael

here is example code of what I am seeing. Why doesn't a leaf carry the
data in the drag event?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx=" http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="vertical">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.events.DragEvent;
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.core.DragSource;
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
public function handleMe( event:DragEvent) : void {
var ds:Array = event.dragSource.dataForFormat("treeItems")
as Array;
Alert.show(ObjectUtil.toString(ds));
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:XML id="treeData">

</mx:XML>
<mx:Tree id="myTree"

showRoot="false"

I have a Tree, and a dream it seems. The Tree's dataProvider is XML
based. The Tree looks lovely and bares leaves. I set dragEnabled = true.
On another object in my app I am capturing the dragEnter event with this
mehtod
private function doDragEnter(event : DragEvent) : void {
var ds:Array = event.dragSource.dataForFormat("treeItems") as
Array;
Alert.show (ObjectUtil.toString(ds));return;
}
Now, if I drag a leaf over this object, the Alert above displays
(Array)#0
[0]
as in it does NOT display the XML frag represented by the leaf.
If I drag a branch, item with the folder icon, the Alert above displays
(Array)#0
[0]<node label=.......</node>
it displays the XML frag for the branch and all its children?
WT?
