This has been talked about in the Archives I believe ... You could search it
, but I remember that to be able to create a ring using the drawing API, you
first need to draw the outer circle clockwise and then draw your innercircle
counter-clockwise all that inside  beginFill and endFill.

That's what I remember, but I might be wrong somewhere ... Look it up in the
Archives (this or last year), it was a post by Helen Triolo if I remember
right.
