Class works, Images don't display?! Help!

programming flash
1

Hello,

I created a very basic class, two images swapping back and forth. I plan to expand on this, but hit a road block. If you look at the code below, all the traces display (even the alpha of imageLoader1), which leaves me to believe that the functions are doing what they’re doing and content is being loaded. But, nothing is displaying in the swf. Does anyone out there have any ideas? I’d appreciate the help. Thanks!
