There are rules for what children can be added to what parents. Is it possible you are not following those rules? "sprite" is a much lowe level class than I have ever used, are you sure it can accept the child you are adding?
Alex has posted these rules multiple times. Something like: Container can accept container or UIComponent, UIComponent can accept anything, ... etc I do not know whare sprite fits into that.
