I want to do this because I have a page with a Flash movie on it and the user can interact with this Flash movie by clicking on items and dragging them around.  If the person is dragging an item and the mouse leaves the Flash movie I would like to continue the drag via Javascript.  I know this sounds rather unconventional to drag between these two technologies.

So far I have code that appends the item to the body and makes it draggable when the mouse leaves the Flash. The problem is since the user has clicked inside the Flash already I cannot initialize the draggable behavior unless I release the mouse after leaving the flash and click on the item I appended to the body.
