Hi Everyone,

I'm having a really annoying problem that I can't seem to solve. I have a 
custom built tree component (built from a List) using the Flex 4 SDK. I need to 
drag an item from this list into another custom List component (the only 
customization here is the Skin).

I can get the tree items to drag just fine. However, I cannot get the second 
list to accept the dragDrop. I have set dragEnabled and dropEnabled to true. 
When I use "this as IUIComponent" as the target in DragManager.acceptDragDrop, 
it does not work. I still see the cursor with the red X and the dragDrop event 
does not first.

If I use the dragInitiator, or the dataGroup of the List, I see the correct 
"Copy" indicator but no dropEvent gets fired. I assume that's becuase I have 
not set the list as a valid drop target. I have tried this by listening on 
dragEnter and dragDrop events and also by overriding the dragEnterHandler and 
dragDropHandler on the list. Below is my code:

                /** @inheritDoc spark.components.List#dragEnterHandler **/
                protected override function dragEnterHandler(e:DragEvent):void {
                        if ( e.dragSource.hasFormat("presentationFromTree") ) {
                                DragManager.acceptDragDrop(this as 
IUIComponent);
                                DragManager.showFeedback(DragManager.COPY);
                        } else {
                                DragManager.showFeedback(DragManager.NONE);
                        }
                }
                /** @inheritDoc spark.components.List#dragDropHandler **/
                protected override function dragDropHandler(e:DragEvent):void {
                        if ( e.dragSource.hasFormat("presentationFromTree") ) {
                                // Handle the dropping of data from the 
fileManager tree
                                var itemData:XML = 
XML(e.dragSource.dataForFormat("presentationFromTree"));
                                handleDropFromTree(itemData);
                        }
                }

Any thoughts or ideas on how I can get this work? Many thanks in advance!
