Hello everyone,

Recently started educating myself with AS3. And, of course, came to a dead end: I’ve found that addChild adds a sprite to the Stage when it’s called from Document Class. But what if i have my custom class, that i’m Importing to a stage with “import com.blabla.bla.x”; Then of course, I fire up my class and even passing a var to it for processing :

```auto
var l = (root.loaderInfo.parameters.lang == undefined) ? 'ee' : root.loaderInfo.parameters.lang;
var mm:x= new x(l);

```

all works ok, all traces out. But, can’t addChild from my .as file to the stage. Anyone knows where to dig?

Thanks,  
All the best.
