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)
