Why can't i addChild after i remove all Child from stage?

Why is that if i remove everything from stage, then i can't add anything back? It just became blank. 

if(stage.numChildren > 0)
{
  stage.removeChildAt(0);
}

var s5:Autodetail= new Autodetail ();
     addChild(s5);

For the sake of completeness, since Flash Player 11 you can simply call:

stage.removeChildren();

to remove all children from the stage or any DisplayObjectContainer.

You are trying to add s5 variable in context of current DisplayObject. It is not necessarily your stage and I guess it is exactly DisplayObject has been deleted by stage.removeChildAt(0). Solution: use while loop and this instead of stage. It'll clean current childrens up while this object becomes stage's child. Code:

if(this.numChildren > 0)
{
  this.removeChildAt(0);
}

var s5:Autodetail= new Autodetail ();
     this.addChild(s5);

There should be a while loop to remove all the children from the stage:

while(stage.numChildren > 0)
{
   stage.removeChildAt(0);
}

You should be able to add new things to the stage. Is there something wrong with 

new Autodetail ()

?
