Hi Dave, Not sure if you have decided against using flex and going back to Flash 8 :) Please go through the following link, I have tried to give a sample solution to the problem you are facing. It may not be exactly your requirement, but it more or less solves your chief issues ie, dragging from List to canvas and dragging a dropped image within the canvas and positioning them. Please do go through it and please dont hesitate to email me if you need any help

I have looked through most of the past posts on this site (especially since Flex 2 was released). Many of the search results on Flexsearch.org are from this board. I tried to list some specific things that I'm trying to learn, such as using Drop and Drag to an item that isn't DnD enabled by default, have the dropped item be re-draggable, etc. Even using the built in Drop Manager, I'd like to see a working sample somewhat similar to my generic needs to see if I'm close (from a best practice standpoint) to doing things the right way. I'm tempted to just re-trench and use Flash 8 for my project, but Flex seems so promising.
