I got the same problem... and solve with this function
function $(object:String,container:DisplayObjectContainer = null) {
if (container == null) container = this;
for (var i:uint=0; i < container.numChildren; i++)
{
var child:DisplayObject = container.getChildAt(i);
if (child.name== object) {
return child;
}
if (container.getChildAt(i) is DisplayObjectContainer)
{
var obj = $(object,DisplayObjectContainer(child));
if (obj is DisplayObject) {
return obj;
}
}
}
}
try $('element name')
