Full Browser not working with addChild

Hi all

I’m working on a full browser site - it has 3 MovieClips, header_mc, body_mc and footer_mc.

When the browser resizes, the header and footer stay the same height and the body height changes.

It’s all working fine when I have the MovieClips on the stage and named.

stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
//
//--Page Structure------------------------

var footerH:Number=170;
var headerFooterH:Number=250;

stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, stage_resizeHandler);

function stage_resizeHandler(evt:Event):void {
	resizeWindow();
}

function resizeWindow() {
	var stageW:Number=stage.stageWidth;
	var stageH:Number=stage.stageHeight;
	header_mc.width=body_mc.width=footer_mc.width=stageW;
	body_mc.height=stageH-headerFooterH;
	footer_mc.y=stageH-footerH;
}

But if I try to add the MovieClip at run time it doesn’t work - does anyone know or see why it won’t work.
