i created a component. i’m creating and attaching movieclips in the constructor.  
when i create a new fla and get that component in library, without taking an instance on stage, if i try to instantiate it through code  
var foo = new FooComponent();  
the constructor is invoked but component is not visible on the stage.  
Please help.  
i’m writing the import statement too ☹
