Great Article, How would I extend this functionality to
replace images in an Image component embedded within a panel? for example I have a default image in an Image component, I would like the user to be able to replace that image with a dragged in bitmap. The panel which contains the image is a custom component of which a number are created at runtime.

The procedure is very similar. The file format is mp3. Here is a snippet.

var object:Object = clip.getData(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT);  
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(object[0].url);  
var sound:Sound = new Sound();  
sound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, soundLoaded);  
sound.load(req);
