I'd like to echo what Jeff said - and add that drag and drop functionality is an awesome _highly contextual_ feature. Are you dragging and dropping data? .or are you moving objects around? The mix of data and UI movement can make for some interesting challenges - especially if the context doesn't expose native support for drag and drop. However! There is good news - with a little elbow grease you can add drag and drop functionality for just about any UIComponent.

Of course - but it will require you (the developer) to programmatically bridge any gaps that Flex can't handle natively.
