Flex- drag and drop for fxg - apache-flex

Question

I am building a flex project involving drag+drop of fxg graphics
my graphic is instantiated as below
<graphics:arrow2 id="object" mouseMove="mouseMoveHandler(event);" />
I get an error: "Call to a possibly undefined method Graphic."
This works if I change my drag-object to Image and replace the 'Graphic' below with 'Image'. What should I use to be able to reference the fxg graphic in the drag-drop?
my drag drop functionality is as follows
private function mouseMoveHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var dragInitiator:Graphic = Graphic(event.currentTarget);
var ds:DragSource = new DragSource();
ds.addData(dragInitiator,"gph");
DragManager.doDrag(dragInitiator, ds, event);
}
private function dragEnterHandler(event:DragEvent):void {
if (event.dragSource.hasFormat("gph"))
{
DragManager.acceptDragDrop(SkinnableContainer(event.currentTarget));
}
}
private var objectX:Number;
private function dragDropHandler(event:DragEvent):void {
objectX= SkinnableContainer(event.currentTarget).mouseX+50;
Graphic(event.dragInitiator).x = objectX;
Graphic(event.dragInitiator).y = 100;
}

This is an example taken from SaturnBoy:
