Custom Drag and Drop Component: When i add a skin, drag and drop no longer works?

Question

I have a skinnableContainer that acts as a container for other drag and droppable items. This container's drop functionality is added from it's parent at the same moment the container is added.
This all works fine until i add a skin class to the skinnableContainer, now none of the draggable items can drop into the container as it did before.
I assume that the Group component wrapping the content from within the skin is acting as a block somehow, but i'm not sure how to allow the drop functionality through it?
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Thanks for your replies... I tried modifying the if clause,
but it did not work. I can use a trace statement to find out what
the target is and what level it is at, but I cannot do this when it
is in our presenter window.
The code that is causing the problem can be accessed right in
Flash. Just create a new quiz, then in the library, go to Quiz
Files --> Learning Interactions --> Assets --> Controls
--> Components, right click on drag and drop and select edit and
then go to the actions frame. I am sure you already know this, but
I just want to be clear I did not make this from scratch.
This code works great when the quiz is the root movie. But if
the quiz is encapsulated within another movie, it does not work. I
can drag the objects, but they just snap back to where their
starting points are. In the code I attached earlier...
"this._parent.Target1" used to be "target".
Just so you can see it all, I have attached the problematic
function.
What happens is that if "this._parent.Target1" is set to
"target", the movie will function fine in Flash, but will not work
in our presentation window. I can drag the draggable objects, but
they always snap back to the location of where they came from.
What this means is that the if clauses are not being run, and
the function is always running the else clause, which puts all of
the objects back at their starting point.
In the code attached, I am using "this._parent.Target1".
Again, works fine in Flash, but when I put it in the presentation
window, this time, I can drag the objects anywhere on the screen,
but when I drop them, they think that the dropZone is the question
itself, and not the Target (Target1). So I need to figure out how
to make Target1 be the dropZone in our presentation window.
Any ideas?
Thanks again for all your help!
