[RESOLVED] Add Bitmap copy of DisplayObject to Canvas

[ChiefDesigns]

I'm trying to create a copy of a DisplayObject as a Bitmap and add the resulting Bitmap in to a Canvas object.

Here is my code:
*Note - value is the variable containing the DisplayObject

var bitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
bitmap.bitmapData = new BitmapData(value.width, value.height, false, 0x000000);
bitmap.bitmapData.draw( value, null, null, null, null );

var image:Image = new Image();
image.addChild( bitmap );
image.width = this.width;
image.height = this.height;
this.addChild(image);

The problem that I am encountering is that the Canvas I am adding the Image object to is displaying a blank area and does not contain the DisplayObject.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Turns out the code that I had was correct. My issue was that I was using MXML to initiate the method containing the code in my post. This call was occurring prior to the value property being drawn by Flex.
