assigning Z kills movieclip

[jasonpeinko]

When i assign z position a value to a movieclip through its class constructor the movieclip does not display anymore. If i assign it later like in the tween it stops moving.

here is the code im using

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

	import com.gskinner.motion.*;
	public class BackgroundCircle extends MovieClip
	{
		public var radius:Number;
		private var moveTween:GTween;
		public function BackgroundCircle(r:Number, newX:Number, newY:Number)
		{
			radius=r;
			height=0;
			width=0;
			x=newX;
			y=newY;
			//Hides the movieclip 
                        z=Math.random()*1;
			moveTween = new GTween(this, 1, {height:r, width:r});
			moveTween.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, move);
		}
		public function move(e:Event)
		{
			var newX:Number=radius+Math.random()*(stage.stageWidth-radius*2);
			var newY:Number=radius+Math.random()*(stage.stageHeight-radius*2);
			var newZ:Number=-500+Math.random()*3000;
                        //Stops moving the movieclip at all.
			moveTween = new GTween(this, 1, {x:newX, y:newY, z:newZ});
			moveTween.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, move);
		}
	}
}

MovieClips don't have a z property. Consult the livedocs.

This is flash 10 btw,

and it works on my computers sometimes but no one elses.

d'oh. I knew I should have triple checked before asserting something like that.

I solved the error with moving about the z axis. But I cannot set the z position of a movieclip in its constructor.
