Hi Cor, If you comment out the lines where you are attempting to set the height and width properties then the text will be visible.
MovieClip.width and MovieClip.height are not listed as MovieClip properties in the documentation. Maybe you should switch to Sprites. If this was AS2 you still would not be able to assign values to _width and _height for an empty movieclip.
