Problem adding to the display list from a class

Question

If I try to convert as3 in an mxml file into a class file and
create an instance of the class, I am unable to add the instance to
the display list. The original mxml file is at the bottom of the
page. The modified mxml file and its associated class are below.
The problem is that I cannot use addChild(myComponent); So how to I
add the UIComponent to the Display list?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import LoadSwf
private var myLoader:LoadSwf
public function init():void{
myLoader=new LoadSwf()
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
Class:
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.adobe.viewsource.ViewSource;
import flash.events.Event
import mx.core.UIComponent
import flash.display.Loader
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.events.StatusEvent
import flash.net.LocalConnection
import flash.net.URLRequest
import flash.net.URLVariables
import flash.utils.Timer;
public class LoadSwf{
private var request:URLRequest
private var loader:Loader = new Loader();
private var conn:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
private var myComponent:UIComponent=new UIComponent();
private var swfTimer:Timer;
private var myParameters:URLVariables ;
public function LoadSwf(){
request= new URLRequest("Login.swf");
myParameters= new URLVariables()
myParameters.loginID = "101";
myComponent.addChild(loader);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
finishedLoading);
loader.load(request);
private function finishedLoading(e:Event):void{
//PROBLEM IN THE FOLLOWING LINE!!!!!!!
addChild(myComponent);
swfTimer = new Timer(10);
swfTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,sendData);
swfTimer.start();
private function sendData(e:Event):void{
conn.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, onStatus);
conn.send("myConnection", "lcHandler",
myParameters.loginID);
private function onStatus(event:StatusEvent):void {
if (event.level=="status") {
trace("LocalConnection connected");
swfTimer.stop();
}else if (event.level=="error"){
trace("FAILED to connect")
}

You didn't add this component to the Application, so I
wouldn't expect to
see anything you add in this component in the Application.
