Hi,
I think the stage has not yet been initiated, hence the addChild is not
working.
Try to get hold of the stage first and then so an addChild.
if(stage){
}else{
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage, false, 0, true);
}
private function onAddedToStage(e:Event):void
{
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage);
addChild(...);
}
Hope this helps.
Warm Regards
