title: Set width/height of a movieclip in AS3
body: <p>I have this Player class which is a movieclip,
  I'm trying to set it's width and height from it and then make it add itself to the stage,
  But for some reason, no matter what I do, this.width returns 0 and setting the size only works from the parent class.. why is this happening?</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Player extends MovieClip {
  
      public var head:MovieClip = new Head_normal_front();
  
      public function Player(stage:Stage){
          this.addChild(head);
          this.width = 10;
          this.height = 10;
          stage.addChild(this);
  
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
