Bitmap Event Listener Problem :(

Question

Hey,
I have encountered a bitmap problem while embeding my image into my project.
Since event listeners don't work on Bitmaps I am having troubles on what to do next so I can use event listeners on my image.
Main Class - The section that adds the image in the class:
var playImage:Bitmap = new Assets.play();
playImage.x = 190;
playImage.y = 165;
playImage.name = "play";
addChild(playImage);
playImage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playClick);
playImage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, playRollOver);
playImage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, moregamesRollOut, false, 0, true);
// ^^ Those EventListeners don't function because the image is Bitmap and it won't allow me to add the photo as a MovieClip
Assets Class - How I embedded the image in the class:
[Embed(source="../images/play.png")]
public static var play:Class;
What method do you suggest I do to get event listeners working on my embedded image?
I am working with pure as3 in Flash Builder.
Thanks,

I don't work in Flash Builder but...
I usually create a Sprite, add that to the stage and then add the bitmap to the sprite. For instance:
var playImageHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(playImageHolder);
var playImage:Bitmap = new Assets.play();
playImageHolder.addChild(playImage);
playImageHolder.x = 190;
playImageHolder.y = 165;
// etc...
