I think if you wanted to modify the default drag proxy you could subclass
DataGrid and override the get dragImage function, which looks like this (in
Flex 2.01)
override protected function get dragImage():IUIComponent
{
var image:DataGridDragProxy = new DataGridDragProxy();
image.owner = this;
return image;
}
You could subclass the DataGridDragProxy and then add your labels or
whatever else you wanted, and return a new instance of that class in get
dragImage
