Having an empty stage makes objects placed by code go out of whack?

this strangest thing i've seen in flash.

 

i taught to, part, make flash program code instead using wysiwyg editor flash.

 

i first placed onto stage in wysiwyg editor testing, make sure fit properly.

 

afterwards, moved each item (one one) on code. got final item, bug occurred.

 

i think it'd best explained using pictures...

 

so program looks when there object on stage. specifically, text field width matches stage , @ x:0 (x + width important):

 

 

perfect. how should look.

 

now let's see happens when delete text box:

 

 

and that, it's broken.

 

 

now, show has stage , what's on it. here's 100x100 text box near center of stage:

 

 

i don't possibly cause this...

 

here constructor main.as file, linked stage:

 

		public function main()
		{
			generatescreen();
			dtf.setdatetimepattern("yyyy-mm-dd 'at' hh:mm:ssa");
			kongservice.getloader().contentloaderinfo.addeventlistener(event.complete, kongloaded);
			kongservice.konglogin();
		}

 

and generatescreen:

 

		private function generatescreen():void
		{
			var font:gamefont = new gamefont();
			var textformat:textformat = new textformat();
			textformat.align = textformatalign.center;
			textformat.size = 26;
			textformat.font = font.fontname;

 

 

			var clickfield:textfield = new textfield();
			clickfield.defaulttextformat = textformat;
			clickfield.text = "click button";
			clickfield.x = 0;
			clickfield.y = 5;
			clickfield.height = 30;
			clickfield.width = stage.width;

 

 

			textformat.size = 22;
			theclicks.defaulttextformat = textformat;
			theclicks.text = "my clicks: \n global clicks: ";
			theclicks.x = 0;
			theclicks.y = 38;
			theclicks.height = 53;
			theclicks.width = stage.width;

 

 

			textformat.size = 16;
			permin.defaulttextformat = textformat;
			permin.text = "clicks per min: 0";
			permin.x = 0;
			permin.y = 355;
			permin.height = 22;
			permin.width = stage.width;

 

 

 

			mybutton.x = (stage.width / 2) - (mybutton.width / 2);
			mybutton.y = stage.height / 2 + (mybutton.height / 2);
			mybutton.btnoff.addeventlistener(mouseevent.mouse_down, clickone);
			mybutton.btnoff.addeventlistener(mouseevent.mouse_up, clicktwo);
			mybutton.btnon.addeventlistener(mouseevent.mouse_down, clickone);
			mybutton.btnon.addeventlistener(mouseevent.mouse_up, clicktwo);

 

 

			stage.addchild(clickfield);
			stage.addchild(theclicks);
			stage.addchild(permin);
			stage.addchild(mybutton);
		}

 

if has insight why happening, i'd know.

 

for now, i've thrown placeholder textfield on stage until it's resolved.

use stage.stagewidth etc, not stage.width.
