I will definitely file a bug against the player but in my initial exploration am seeing some deal-breaker shortcomings of both DragManager and Panel's built-in approach. Panel's stage_mouseLeaveHandler() listens for MOUSE_LEAVE so it suffers from the same fate as startDrag(). DragManager, as far as I can tell, provides no way to limit the drag area. DragManager also doesn't seem to provide any (easy) way to do live dragging. I assume the only way to accomplish it would be to copy the dragged component into a ByteArray and use that as an Image's source for the dragProxy.
As I said, these are only based on initial tests so please let me know if there is something I am overlooking. As it turns out I really hope that is the case.
