Hi folks.

I've been thinking about developing a drag/drop label/drop zone component, that works in a similar way to the ones that come with Flash's quiz template.

The way the flash one is laid out is:

   * Drag and Drop Activity Component
         o 8 Different drop label/zone pairs.

These pairs seem to be 8 separate components themselves, rather than 8 instances of the same component.

The reason for this seems to be that then, the programatically challenged can then just break them apart and draw away to their hearts content.

Now, I'd like to develop a drag/drop pair that will also let aforementioned programatically challenged customise them, but without having the restriction of n predefined components that will do the same thing.

Has anyone done anything like this before? I was hoping to make a component, of which they can drop any amount on to the stage, and customised as they wish. The idea I had was to use Linkages in the library, in a similar manner to specifying the skin for any other object. That way, they can have different movie clips for the initial and solved states, and another one that specifies the 'hit area'. Even better: Is it possible to write a custom properties panel that can browse the library?

Any hints?
