addChild not working with library clip (attachMovie AS2 migration)

programming flash

Hello, I’m having a problem adding a library clip to my stage

I can do no problem if I have a testFLV.fla that has a library clip called test_clip with the linkage set to: com.attach_clips.Clip.


import com.app.views.mediaDisplay;
import com.attach_clips.Clip;

public class FLVTest extends Sprite 
{
    private var _mediaDisplay:mediaDisplay;
    
    public function FLVTest() 
    {
        this._mediaDisplay = new mediaDisplay(null);
        var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip();
        var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip();
        this.addChild(clip_1_mc);
        clip_1_mc.x=100;
    }
}

If I use the same concept in my mediaDisplay class, the clip isn’t added to the stage. Obviously it’s got to be a scope issue since ‘this’ in the first example
represents the .fla itself but in mediaDisplay this doesn’t have a stage object.


package com.app.views 
{

    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import com.attach_clips.Clip;
    
    public class mediaDisplay extends Sprite 
    {
    
        public function mediaDisplay(attachControls:Sprite) 
        {
            var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip();
            this.addChild(clip_1_mc);
            clip_1_mc.x=100; 
        };
    }
}

Any ideas how I could ‘attach’ test_clip to the stage from mediaDisplay?

Thanks,
