A quick thought, Anthony... why reinvent the wheel? Why not use Flash's built-in graphics.moveTo()/graphics.lineTo() etc. to draw _vector_ lines into a Sprite (which will therefore be nicely antialiased by Flash), then capture the results as a bitmap and paste them into whatever BitmapData you are trying to create?
It will be a lot faster at runtime than plotting a line pixel by pixel. Unless you have a specific need to do that!
