I have this code + background color set to grey.  
The weirdest thing is that addChild(something); seems to create a white 46x46 pixel white box on stage.  
If I take addChild away, white box goes away as well…

WHAT IS GOING ON!?

Timeline script:

```auto
var something:Main = new Main();
addChild (something);

```

Main.as:

```auto
package
{
   import flash.display.MovieClip;
    
    public class Main extends MovieClip
    {
        public function Main()
        {
            trace(" Main class instantiated");
            //class content begins..
        }
    }
}

```
