I'm not going to pretend to understand this, but here's a little more information which may be useful.
This works: myCanvas.addChild(myHelpImage); This doesn't work: myHelpUIComponent.addChild(myHelpImage); myCanvas.addChild(myHelpUIComponent); Which leads me to suspect that the problem is with the UIComponent rather than the sprite, but again I have no idea really.
