MovieClip not adding from my class

Question

If I have the following on the timeline in my FLV, it works and attaches my movie from the library to the stage. If I do the same from my class, it does not. What could be the issue?
var myMC:ToolTipMc = new ToolTipMc();
addChild(myMC);
Thanks a lot for any help!

Brian914,
You have added the ToolTipMc to the display list of you class but is your class added to the display list of the Stage or Document root. Check and see if your class is a display object like MovieClip and that it is added to the stage. bellow is an example.
package {
     import flash.display.*;
     public class MyToolTip extends MovieClip{
          public function MyToolTip():void{
               //code for your tool tip
package {
     import flash.display.*;
     import MyToolTip;
     public class MyToolTipHolder extends MovieClip{
          public var tTip:MyToolTip;
          public function MyToolTipHolder():void{
            tTip = new MyToolTip();
               addChild(tTip);
Now if you are trying to put the tooltip on the screen you wil need to first add the MyToolTipHolder to the displaylist then it will add MyToolTip to its display list and it will show up. If you want to add the ToolTipHolder to any other display Object like flv, then add the myFLV.addChild(toolTipHolder);
Hope This Helps
