All I am trying to do is add a movieclip from the library to the stage from the class below. The trace works but the dang thing does not show up. I am trying to get into using classes finally. Thanks in advance.

```auto

package classes
{
 import flash.display.MovieClip;
 import flash.text.TextField;
 import flash.events.MouseEvent;
 public class mapTarget extends MovieClip
 {
  public function mapTarget()
  {
   var mcChoiceTarget1:mcChoiceTarget = new mcChoiceTarget();
   mcChoiceTarget1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleClick);
   this.addChild(mcChoiceTarget1);
   trace(mcChoiceTarget1.y);
   trace(this.width);
  }
  public function handleClick(evt:MouseEvent):void
  {
   trace("You clicked it baby!");
  }
  /*public function sayHello(initialName:String = ""):String
  {
  
  }*/
 }
}

```
