how do you add stuff to the stage from a class method using addChild?  
example:

```auto
 
package { 
       public class Example extends MovieClip { 
           public function Example() { 
                    //........... 
                    addChild(someMC); 
           } 
       }
}

```

what would you do special to do it from a class method, if anything?
