[RESOLVED] This is not doing anything.. lol

package AS.Geo
{
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Square extends MovieClip
{
private var xVal:int;
private var yVal:int;
private var wVal:int;
private var hVal:int;
private var colorVal:uint;
private var shapeObj:Shape;
function Square(XValue:int, YValue:int, Width:int, Height:int, hexColor:uint)
{
this.xVal = XValue;
this.yVal = YValue;
this.wVal = Width;
this.hVal = Height;
this.colorVal = hexColor;
this.drawSquare();
}
private function drawSquare():void
{
this.xVal = 0;
this.yVal = 0;
this.hVal = 200;
this.wVal = 200;

this.shapeObj = new Shape();
this.shapeObj.graphics.lineStyle(0, 0x0000FF, 1);
this.shapeObj.graphics.beginFill(0x000000, .5);
this.shapeObj.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, this.wVal, this.hVal);
this.shapeObj.graphics.endFill();
addChild(this.shapeObj);
this.shapeObj.x = this.xVal;
this.shapeObj.y = this.yVal;
}
}
}

This is simply not doing anything.. Drawing atleast..
No errors.. and i am following a tutorial which i believe everything is the exact same.

Note that just to keep sure control of it all, i reassigned all the x,y,w,h values just to not make me jump around to different files to make sure the class is giving the correct values.. if that makes any sense.


*edited for crappy title lol*

the problem simply was my incorrect use of addChild (which i suspected). I was confused because in the examples i saw, it was the main class and hence had immediate access to the root. Whereas, this remote class does not. So i had to feed it a reference to the root clip (or i should say the desired movieclip)
