The dropIndicator is a simple line showing where the drop will go. The dragProxy shows a dragImage that is handed into DragManager that shows an image of what is being dragged. In theory, you can replace the dragImage with a fancier one that changes somehow.

I understand that I can make a new dropIndicatorSkin (which I hope to do this in Flash). However, I'd also like to add some separation between the items in the list when I drag the item over a potential drop spot. What would happen is both the item above and below would shift apart a bit. Ideally, the individual items wouldn't change size, but if it made it easier, they could squash a bit. Any suggestions on how to do something like this? (I'm thinking there might be an API inside Flex to already deal with this.) Thanks.
