OK, I think if I could somehow add a sprite to the component, I could 
make this work, but instead of addChild, it has AddChild, which shows 
three arguments in code hinting but throws a compiler error if I give 
it more than one.  If I give it a sprite as the one argument, it 
gives me a runtime error.

I can't look to see where it is drawing the background in, because 
that's in one of the Flash classes.  It doesn't look like those are 
included in the source that comes with FB3.

Anyone?  Anyone?  Buehler?
