Flex : Draw ellipse on Image?

I have an Image object and I wish to 开发者_StackOverflow社区draw an ellipse on it.

I have tried with:

imageObj.graphics.beginFill( 0x0000FF, 0.5 );
imageObj.graphics.drawEllipse( position.x, position.y, 10, 10 );
imageObj.graphics.endFill();

However, it doesn't draw anything at all.

How can I draw a graphic primitive on an Image object?

You cannot draw elipse directly on a image, you need to draw on a UIComponent.
