Objects added to the stage are not animated by AnimatorFactory

Question

Hi all,
the following code ist a very simple animation. I added an object to the stage by dragging it from the library. Then I applied code generated by "Copy motion as AS 3" and the animation works fine.
However, if i add another object by instating it in AS, add it to the stage by stage.addChild(...), and try to animate it by adding it as a target to the AnimatorFactory nothing happens.(Probably I made a simple newbi mistake.)
Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks a lot in advance.
Here is the code:
import fl.motion.AnimatorFactory;
import fl.motion.MotionBase;
import flash.filters.*;
import flash.geom.Point;
var __motion_Symbol1_3:MotionBase;
if(__motion_Symbol1_3 == null) {
    import fl.motion.Motion;
    __motion_Symbol1_3 = new Motion();
    __motion_Symbol1_3.duration = 34;
    // Call overrideTargetTransform to prevent the scale, skew,
    // or rotation values from being made relative to the target
    // object's original transform.
    // __motion_Symbol1_3.overrideTargetTransform();
    // The following calls to addPropertyArray assign data values
    // for each tweened property. There is one value in the Array
    // for every frame in the tween, or fewer if the last value
    // remains the same for the rest of the frames.
    __motion_Symbol1_3.addPropertyArray("x", [0,10.6348,21.2697,31.9045,42.5394,53.1742,63.809,74.4439,85.0787,95.7136,106.348,116.983 ,127.618,138.253,148.888,159.523,170.158,180.792,191.427,202.062,212.697,223.332,233.967,2 44.601,255.236,265.871,276.506,287.141,297.776,308.411,319.045,329.68,340.315,350.95]);
    __motion_Symbol1_3.addPropertyArray("y", [0,-0.151515,-0.30303,-0.454545,-0.60606,-0.757575,-0.90909,-1.06061,-1.21212,-1.36364,-1 .51515,-1.66667,-1.81818,-1.9697,-2.12121,-2.27273,-2.42424,-2.57576,-2.72727,-2.87879,-3. 0303,-3.18182,-3.33333,-3.48485,-3.63636,-3.78788,-3.93939,-4.09091,-4.24242,-4.39394,-4.5 4545,-4.69697,-4.84848,-5]);
    __motion_Symbol1_3.addPropertyArray("scaleX", [1.000000]);
    __motion_Symbol1_3.addPropertyArray("scaleY", [1.000000]);
    __motion_Symbol1_3.addPropertyArray("skewX", [0]);
    __motion_Symbol1_3.addPropertyArray("skewY", [0]);
    __motion_Symbol1_3.addPropertyArray("rotationConcat", [0]);
    __motion_Symbol1_3.addPropertyArray("blendMode", ["normal"]);
    // Create an AnimatorFactory instance, which will manage
    // targets for its corresponding Motion.
    var __animFactory_Symbol1_3:AnimatorFactory = new AnimatorFactory(__motion_Symbol1_3);
    __animFactory_Symbol1_3.transformationPoint = new Point(0.500000, 0.500000);
    // Call the addTarget function on the AnimatorFactory
    // instance to target a DisplayObject with this Motion.
    // The second parameter is the number of times the animation
    // will play - the default value of 0 means it will loop.
    __animFactory_Symbol1_3.addTarget(myClip, 0);
var myClip1:Symbol1 = new Symbol1();
stage.addChild(myClip1);
__animFactory_Symbol1_3.addTarget(myClip1, 0); // NOTHING HAPPENS?

if you create an animation that you want to apply to mulitple objects in cs4, you can create a motion preset:

in your coding problem, instead of adding myClip1 to the stage, add it to the main timeline.
