So. are you _not_ using the dragSource, dragInitiator or draggedItem provided by your drag/drop events? I would recommend that first before you try to get list items to dispatch events.
As for the second question, the mouse must participate in a drag/drop operation - but the actual functionality of dragging and dropping is a lower level operation that isn't directly tied to a components condition. If you wanted to turn drag/drop off based on mouse enabled or something similar. then all you had to do is check for myComponent.mouseEnabled with your drag start event. and if this fails. event.preventDefault().

I need to determine when the user drags and drops something onto one of those items. I was hoping I could just add a listener to the list container and that the drag events it received would contain the child object as the event.target (just like mouse events). Instead, the list container is both the target and current target. Is there a way to get the result I want? The list items are getting the drag events, I just need them to also be dispatched from the parent, and I don't want to have to create a custom event to handle this. And in general, why is it that the DragEvents inherit from MouseEvents but don't *behave* like mouse events? For example, they don't respect mouseEnabled/mouseChildren (I had to change DragProxy to do this). Thanks for the help, Troy.
