You and me both, buddy.
BTW, _xmouse and mouseX are the same thing; the latter's a getter/setter.
mx.core.UIObject tries to wrap a lot of the MovieClip (Flash specific)
implementation details and put it in a nice wrapper around it.

another undocumented variable, eh? Being non-Flash person, I find it
irritating that none of this is in the Flex docs. Perhaps is never
shall, perhaps it shouldn't, dunno. I suppose I can find all these in
the generated AS files, eh? Anyhoooooo.....
target._xmouse appears to give the mouse position relative to the
container deing dropped on. so target._xmouse appears to be
equivalent to containergettingdroppedon.parent.mouseX. I was looking
for the coords of the actual dragproxy. Both, all rather, of Jesse's
responses helped, but had to use the undoced
DragManager["_dragProxy"].
