Can you have a background image in Flex?

Question

How might it be implemented?
Thanks,

Another one simple example:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<s:Application xmlns:d="http://ns.adobe.com/fxg/2008/dt" xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" backgroundColor="#060503" creationComplete="application_creationCompleteHandler()" height="750" preloaderChromeColor="#060503" width="1000">
<fx:Script><![CDATA[
protected function application_creationCompleteHandler():void
                  currentState='Page1';
]]></fx:Script>
<s:states>
            <s:State name="PreliminaryPage"/>
            <s:State name="Page1"/>
            <s:State name="Page2"/>
            <s:State name="Page3"/>
</s:states>
<s:BitmapImage alpha.PreliminaryPage="0" id="backgroundImage" smooth="true" source="@Embed('/assets/background/Your_background_image.png')" x="100" y="100"/>
<s:transitions>
<s:Transition autoReverse="true" fromState="PreliminaryPage" toState="Page1">
<s:Parallel target="{backgroundImage}">
<s:Fade duration="1000" startDelay="0">
<s:easer>
<s:Linear easeInFraction="0.25" easeOutFraction="0.25"/>
</s:easer>
</s:Fade>
</s:Parallel>
</s:Transition>
</s:transitions>
</s:Application>
