You don't add bitmaps as children. Instead you draw them using the Graphics
class.
this.graphics.beginBitmapFill(bitmapData);
this.graphics.drawRect(0,0,bitmapData.width,bitmapData.height);

What am I doing wrong? I called that from creationComplete in my
application.

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.
