Application.application actually is not the root display object from the Flash's display list perspective. SystemManager is and you can get a reference to it through the "systemManager" property defined on UIComponent. Not sure I would suggest drawing on it, but technically that's the root. Here's some info from one of the Flex SDK developers: http://iamdeepa.com/blog/?p=11 Personally, I don't understand why you'd have anything outside of your root MXML class drawing on Application.application.. seems like broken encapsulation and trouble that could be solved another way.

OK - thank you. I guess my core question is, if I want to draw directly on the _level0 stage, the way to pass that UI object to a class which draws on it is to do UIComponent(Application.application) ? That seems a little convoluted, but that's how it's done? I could create a canvas and pass that into the class, but I'm wondering about the root UI object. In Flash, I can draw directly on the stage.
