Couldn't you just set a variable and pass that to whichever class/method needs to access the child by name?

I'm not sure why it is not possible to name that new content. I've tried playing around with this myself and can't figure out how once you've loaded the content you can access that content as a class. I've loaded up swfs and can reference classes within the swf no problem and create instances of those classes but if I try to get a class definition for the content all I can get is MovieClip and I can't figure out how to create new instances of the that loaded content without running another loader Not sure if that helps you any or not.
