Description

Steps to reproduce: (See attached project that reproduces the problem)
1. Create a top level application that has very little code. It loads the module and Application. Ensure MarshallingSupport is used everywhere.
2. Create a Module that contains code that participates in drag/drop. load this module from the top level application
3. Note that the drag/drop works.
4. Create an Application, and load it from the top level with SWFLoader loadForCompatibility=true. This application can have anything in it (simple labels in my sample). They do not participate in drag/drop.
5. Note that the drag/drop that was previously working in step 3 is no longer working.

The attached project shows this problem.

Actual Results:
Drag/drop does not work in the Module if another SWF is loaded using MarshallingSupport.

Expected Results:
Drag/Drop should work. It should work across modules or other dynamically loaded SWF applications.

Workaround (if any):
None that we have found to date.
