Assuming the Game class is your root/stage class:

Public class Game extends MovieClip {
public function Game(){
        var gameworld:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); //new GameWorld()?
        this.addChild( gameworld );

        var game_bg:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
        gameworld.addChild( game_bg );
}

What I don't get is why it needs "this.addChild" instead of just 
addChild.  I've been sick of the keyword "this" for a long time and 
have since avoided it in AS2.

Any reason that it needs to be back in for AS3?
