I would think you might want to convert a container for your movieclips to accept the drop.

OK I'm now using the integration kit so the movieclips are fixed manually for now in the fla. (I actually need to convert over 90,000 movieclips in abut 400 .fla files to UIMoveiClips - but I'm hoping I can hack the "Make Flex Component" jsfl? But that's probably another posting.) Anyway assuming I convert from MovieClip to UIMovieClip manually for now, I'm still not home and dry because I don't have mx.flash.UIMovieClip in Flex 2.01, so I can't specify the event handler in Flex for the dropTarget i.e. var dropTarget:UIMovieClip = UIMovieClip(event.currentTarget); How do I get UIMovieClip into the Flex 2.01 SDK? Can I just copy and paste mx.flash.UIMovieClip from the Flex 3 beta SDK into the Flex 2.01 SDK ? Sorry if that's a really dumb question.
