title: How do I add MovieClips to the stage while using AIR?
body: <p>So I had been messing around in AS3 for awhile and had done some basic starting flash game things, but then found out I could use air to make them for mobile platforms.  So I tried copying over what I had worked on before, but I am running into issues.  </p>
  
  <p>Right now I am just trying to find out how to add an instance of a MovieClip to the stage. I have an image converted to a MovieClip with it's own class so I can manipulate it later (such as moving around) and I have this in my Main class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class Main extends MovieClip
  {
      var space:Background;  //Background is the MovieClip
  
      function Main():void
      {
          space = new Background(stage);
          stage.addChild(space);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I run the program, the image doesn't show up.  It works that way when I just had a standard AS3 program and I don't understand why it would be different when I am trying to use AIR.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thank you.</p>
