try this if you havent yet:
var childCanvas: Canvas = new Canvas();
var t:Text= new Text();
t.text="this is a circle";
t.x=220;
t.y=140;
childCanvas.graphics.lineStyle (1, 0x333333, 1);
childCanvas.graphics.beginFill (0xCCCCCC, 0.6);
childCanvas.graphics.drawCircle(200,150, 7);
childCanvas.graphics.endFill( );
childCanvas.id = "myCircle";
childCanvas.toolTip = "I'm a circle";
childCanvas.addChild(t);
mainCanvas.addChild(childCanvas);
