Actionscript 3 Dymanically created buttons not showing
===

I am new to Flash and Actionscript. I have a movie that is initiated from a C# program. In the movie I am creating different textfields and passing the data back to the C# program. I also have a hotspot that when it is clicked I want to create a small menu that pops up. I've looked at a number of ways to do this and I decided that the easiest way to do this (or so I thought) would be to create a couple of buttons right under the hotspot. For some reason the buttons do not show up on the stage when I click on the hot spot. I know it is going through the routine that creates the buttons because I display a message. I have posted my code. Thanks for the help!!

    import flash.text.TextField;
    import fl.controls.Button; 
    import flash.events.Event;

    hotSpot.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showMenu);

    var continueBtn:Button;
    var exitBtn:Button;

    function showMenu(evt: Event):void
    {
        continueBtn = new Button();

        continueBtn.x = 20;
        continueBtn.y = 100;
        continueBtn.width = 30;
        continueBtn.height = 20;
        continueBtn.border = true;
        continueBtn.visible = true;
        continueBtn.label = "Continue";
        addChild(continueBtn);

        exitBtn = new Button();

        exitBtn.x = continueBtn.x;
        exitBtn.y = continueBtn.y + continueBtn.height;
        exitBtn.width = 30;
        exitBtn.height = 20; 
        exitBtn.border = true;
        exitBtn.visible = true;
        exitBtn.label = "Exit";
        addChild(exitBtn);

        continueBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendMsg);
        exitBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, endFlash);

        inTxt.text = "showMenu";

    }

The message "showMenu" is displayed but neither one of the buttons show.
