adding new children and artifacts

How would one go about adding a child to the stage without it first blinking on the screen right before you move it.

In a sprite class, after I create the bitmap, I set the visibility to false, then add the the bitmap to the sprite.

When I create a new copy of that sprite instance, I can see the object being created in the corner of the screen right before it moves to the setPosition location.

I also have a function set up where I set the bitmap visibility to true after I move the sprite in hopes I could clear that up. That doesn't work as expected.

Are you setting the position in the same block of code that you're creating the copy? If so, it would all happen before the next frame refresh and so would appear where you wanted it to straight away, rather than at 0,0 which it sounds like is happening for you currently.

I usually set position, before adding sprite to stage. Is it possible in your situation?
