I made a similar app, I didnt know about DisplayObjectWrapper, I'm just
using a Canvas (the api shows it allows DisplayObject for addChild method,
yes?)
but try changing your line:
var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData);
to:
var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData.clone());
Thats the only thing that looks different from my code

Yeah, the problem is that the Canvas container only allows children that
implement IUIComponent. It would have been real nice if Adobe had provided a
"raw" container that did no layout of its children (but implemented
IUIComponent itself), but they didn't.
Fortunately, Grant Skinner has provided just such a container...
DisplayObjectWrapper. Check out his blog or Google for it.
If you wrap your Bitmap with the DisplayObjectWrapper first you'll then be
able to add it (or rather, the DisplayObjectWrapper) to the canvas.
