Hi, I have tried the following code from Adobe's site, but I receive the
runtime error: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.display::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.core.IUIComponent.)
var text:TextField = new TextField();
text.text = "Testing!";
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new
BitmapData(80, 20);
bitmapData.draw(text);
var bitmap:Bitmap = new
Bitmap(bitmapData);
this.addChild(bitmap);
What am I doing wrong? I called that from creationComplete in my
application.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Drawing text to screen / bitmap
The only way to render text is through flash.text.TextField, or
StaticText. You can then draw that text into a bitmap using
flash.display.BitmapData.draw() to draw the TextField to a bitmap.
