This works too:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Image;
import mx.containers.Canvas;
[Embed(source="/images/splash.png")]
[Bindable]
private var myHelpImageSource:Class;
private function initUI():void {
var myCanvas2:Canvas = new Canvas();
var myHelpImage:Image = new Image();
myHelpImage.source = myHelpImageSource;
myCanvas2.addChild(myHelpImage);
myCanvas.addChild(myCanvas2);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Canvas id="myCanvas" width="600" height="500" />
So maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not seeing why you need either
UIComponent or Sprite, as things seem to work and be simpler replacing the two
of them with canvas

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( myHelpUIComponen t);
Which leads me to suspect that the problem is with the UIComponent rather than
the sprite, but again I have no idea really.

Oh, and also an article which discusses the problem adding a sprite as
a child to a Flex container:
