Basically the myLoadedSwf is a child of a class called LoadingClass , if I
access myLoadedSwf.myBall.myStripeToReColor inside that class it works.
But when I make an instance of the class and myLoadedSwf is a child in that
class. I'm unable to reference the child
var testLoader:LoadingClass = new LoadingClass("ball.swf");
var testVar:MovieClip = testLoader.getChildByName("ball") as MovieClip;
testVar.ball.myStripeToReColor.transform = someTransformation
The last line does not work.
