I am experiencing a difficulting adding a Bitmap to a container using
the addChild() method. The error i get is:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.display::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.core.IUIComponent.

The error actually makes sense since flash.display.Bitmap does not
implement IUIComponent, which aparently is required, since the doc for
mx.core.Container.addChild says:

"Note: While the child argument to the method is specified as of type
DisplayObject, the argument must implement the IUIComponent interface
to be added as a child of a container. All Flex components implement
this interface."

However, the documentation for the Bitmap class states the following:

"The Bitmap() constructor allows you to create a Bitmap object that
contains a reference to a BitmapData object. After you create a Bitmap
object, use the addChild() or addChildAt() method of the parent
DisplayObjectContainer instance to place the bitmap on the display list."

Anyone has any idea what's going on with this? Is the documentation
incorrect? Has anyone been able to add Bitmap to the display list?

Thanks,
Mark
