What would be the best way to do that In my code above?
My attempts have failed so far, the last one (I added a canvas in the mxml
and try to add the shape rectangle to it):

draw.mxml:

            myCanvas.addChild(myRectangle.returnRectangle());
        }
    ]]>

    rectAndCircle.graphics.lineStyle(1);

    return rectAndCircle;
    }

I've got an error 1034 (BTW if anyone know how i can  avoid to  localise the
AS3 error messages so I can paste full error messages in English)

Thanks
