It isn't the DragProxy you want to change, but probably just the dragImage handed into DragManager.doDrag. The place to do that is in a handler for DRAG_START where you call preventDefault() so the default dragImage isn't used. You can also subclass and override dragImage.

This is what I currently have: //Capture the row data when the user clicks on an item... private function dropZoneMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void { var selectedData:XML = DataGrid(event.currentTarget).selectedItem as XML; _lastSelectedName = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; _lastSelectedAge = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; } private function dropZoneMouseMove(event:MouseEvent):void { var dragInitiator:IUIComponent = event.target as IUIComponent; var dragSource:DragSource = new DragSource(); var dragProxy:Label = _dragLabel; dragProxy.text = _lastSelectedName + " " + _lastSelectedAge; DragManager.doDrag(dragInitiator, dragSource, event, dragProxy); } Cheers, Neil On Mon, May 12, 2008 at 2:41 PM, Douglas Knudsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: perhaps you can create a Label with the text from these twocolumns and then use this method http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/dragdrop_7.html#226768 <http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/dragdrop_7.html#226768> DK On Mon, May 12, 2008 at 8:40 AM, nwebb <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: Hi, I'm drag/dropping items within a DataGrid.
