Hey, thanks a lot. To elaborate on what's suggested, the solution I got was:
var tf:TextField = new TextField(); tf.text = "bitmap text"; var myBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(80, 20); myBitmapData.draw(tf); var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData); this.addChild(bmp); Thinks this will help others, who wanna know more about the same.
