You can use BitmapData.applyFilter, although it requires for you to draw the source object first, or at least just the base shape, so on circular or rectangular buttons and the like you can save some time (or maybe it doesn't even matter for BitmapData.draw how deep your source object's display list is? never tested it nor seen any related benchmark), also, you don't need to redraw the source object if it doesn't change significantly.
However, the main problem I see is how using some Bitmap is going to affect the UIComponent size, or maybe it won't be a problem. I mean, your button may be 50x50, but you'll bitmap with the drop shadow effect may require a 60x60 space, and the developer shouldn't know about that extra space taken by the effect (although it may come useful under some circumstances).
