I don't know if you cna draw directly to the stage or not (i think not) but this would do the job
package
          import flash.display.Bitmap;
          import flash.display.Sprite;
          import flash.events.Event;
          public class Main extends Sprite
                    [Embed(source="flash.png")]
                    private var Picture:Class;
                    public function Main():void
                              if (stage)
                                        init();
                              else
                                        addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
                    public function init(e:Event = null):void
                              removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
                              var background:Sprite = new Sprite();
                              addChild(background);
                              var image:Bitmap = new Picture();
                              background.graphics.beginBitmapFill(image.bitmapData);
                              background.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
                              background.graphics.endFill();
