"Stage" is a reference to the Flash Players background. You can't make "new" ones. It's the first thing on the display list and automatically comes into existence when the file opens.

I think what you might be talking about is creating a new movieclip with a movieclip button.

Here are the basics.

myMovieClipExample.fla
// just set the document class to application
// file > publish settings > settings > document class : "application"

application.as

package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

public class application extends MovieClip {
public function application() {
var myButton:MovieClip = new MovieClip;
myButton.graphics.lineStyle(1);
myButton.graphics.beginFill(0x0000FF, 1);
myButton.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 75, 50);
addChild(myButton);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonListener);
}

private function myButtonListener(e:MouseEvent):void {
trace("The button was clicked. Create a new movieclip.");
//create your new movieclip
//I suggest making a function to "create" new movieclips
}
}
}

That what you are looking for?
