Instead of using mx:Canvas try using s:BorderContainer.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009";
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
<fx:Style>
.bgImage
{
color: #DEDACF;
contentBackgroundColor: #DEDACF;
backgroundImage: Embed(BannerBackground.jpg);
backgroundImageFillMode: repeat;
}
</fx:Style>
<s:BorderContainer width="100%" height="600" styleName="bgImage">
<s:Label text="CSS Background test" />
</s:BorderContainer>
</s:Application>
