Here's the mouseOverHandler function that is throwing the type
conversion error. It's basically copied from the docs
example "Specifying the drag proxy". Not sure how to reference the
image portion of the TileList element so that I'm not converting
TileList to Image...
private function mouseOverHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var dragInitiator:Image=Image(event.currentTarget);
var ds:DragSource = new DragSource();
ds.addData(dragInitiator, "img");
// The drag manager uses the Image control
// as the drag proxy and sets the alpha to 1.0
(opaque),
// so it appears to be dragged across the Canvas.
var imageProxy:Image = new Image();
imageProxy.source = event.currentTarget;
imageProxy.height=15;
imageProxy.width=15;
DragManager.doDrag(dragInitiator, ds, event,
imageProxy, -15, -15, 1.00);
}
