Dear Group, I wondered if I could bother you a minute with a simple question. I have a document class that extends MovieClip, but my problem arises when I use addChild to add some popups (movieclips) to the stage. They are only visible when I attach my popups to an on-stage button: mystagebtn.addChild(mypopup) but I get nothing when attaching using addChild() or this.addChild or this.parent.addChild What reasons can there be for my clips not being visible? As I said, my document class does extend MovieClip and I have searched for a few days now and reading on the doc class has not given me an answer. I wouldn't even mind a reference to a tutorial that could help me. Thanks. -JC
