i have not tested it, but in an as3 (or even a flex) project when you use the fl.motion jobbies you need to extend movieclip (i read it somewhere, but thinking about it i have used them in uicomponents so... this is prob wrong) instead of sprite. thinking about it i am wrong most prob about that, but i def read it on the adobe livedocs in regards to the fl.motion package jobbies.
