Looking at your original example you don't set the dragAction to  
anything (old engine behavior was to set the acceptDrop to true).

I just tried the following with two buttons and the results are what  
one would hope they would be:


Button 1
------------------
on dragStart
     set the dragData["private"] to "some value"
     put the dragData["private"]
end dragStart


Button 2
------------------
on dragEnter
     put the dragData["private"] && the milliseconds
     set the dragaction to "copy"
end dragEnter


on dragDrop
     put "it is:" && the dragData["private"]
end dragDrop


Does the above work for you?
