ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading A Display Object Into A Bitmap?

I am trying to load an sprite into a bitmap, but cannot get the sprite to fill the bitmap. Here is the results I am getting: [URL]
 
here is the  applicable part of the code I am using that gets these results:
 
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}addChild(container); //add sprite to see true sizebd = new BitmapData(container.width,container.height,false,0xff0000); //colored for effectb = new Bitmap(bd);bd.draw(container);addChild(b); // add bitmap to compare to sprite
