Fahim,
I think testVar already references 'ball'
so testVar.ball in your last line is wrong.

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.

Oké, now I understand,
In that case you have to make sure that the user can click only
when the
ball is loaded.
I guess you have an eventListener somewhere that listens for users to
click.
When you trace for the ball in that eventlistener, do you get the
expected
reference to it?
Maybe your problem arises not from the ball not being loaded but
from a
wrong referencing path.
So you need something like:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
and:
private function mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(myLoadedSwf.myBall.myStripeToRecolor);
//do recoloring stuff
}

Willem,.
Here is the full scenario. I have a swfLoading class which loads
SWF for
me.
Once the swf is loaded say a ball. I want to click on different
colors and
change the color of the stripes on the ball.
Now, with what you said I can access things once they are loaded.
The load
complete function is in my swfLoading class. But at that time, I
do not
want
to change the colors. But I need to change the colors of the ball
at some
later time.

You would probably want to either set a flag, or store a
variable in your
class / outside your event handler function that is null before the
content
is loaded. In other functions that manipulate that clip, you
should test
that the variable is not null before manipulating it.
Alternatively, you would write a beautiful class that
encapsulated all of
this after reading up on OOP in AS3. but for GTD, the above may
do.

I posted it on flexcoders accidently. Then had to update the
question
there
too. I apologize for that.
Hmm what if I do not want to reference it from inside that event
Listener but a another movie clip who would be later its parent?

No you can't reference something that is not ther yet.
You need to add an eventlistener to imageloader to listen for the
loading
to complete.
Inside that event listener you can call
imageLoader.content.testMovie.gotoAndStop(2)

I'm using AS3 here is a little more detail.
I'm loading an swf say "test.swf" which gets loaded in
imageLoader ,
so
I
can get its content by :
imageLoader.content
So if I wanted one of the movieClips inside it I would do this :
imageLoader.content.testMovie.gotoAndStop(2);
But when I do this, since the movie is not loaded the file is
not
compiled
and gives me an error your referring to something that is not
there.
How
else am I supposed to reference a content that will be loaded
later?

Hi Fahim,
Can be anything.
To give you something to proceed we really need more
information.
What are you doing exactly? (what is the code you use to
tell the
symbol
to
do an action)
What would you expect to happen?
What is actually happening (error codes etc.)

Hi,
I have a swf which I load using a customized swf loader.
The problem
I'm
facing is after I load the swf, I want to tell one of its
symbol to
do
an
action. But this does not seem to work . Any word on that?
