Forget the timeline. Associate each of your movieclips in your library
with a corresponding class that extends Sprite or MovieClip. Then
instantiate and add each as children to your document class. I won't go
into design patterns like MVC and how you would do that, but this would be
a basic setup and allow you total control over all instances.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] access a mc in stage from a class
the first version I tried to do was like you mentioned. but had the first
problem (access the mc on stage) and swiched to the document class..
the project is a recorder, so I did 3 classes, connection, mic and
recorder.
in the main timeline I import all the 3 classes then I create a instance
of each (timeline code not document class).
the problem start here because i want a mic and recorder instance ONLY if
the connection class could connect. that is different from :
//this will ceatae them all at once without care about connection ok or
no..
mymic:CustomMic = new CustomMic()
myconn:CustomConn = new CustomConn()
myRecorder:CustomRec = new CustomRec()
how can I have something like listening for the connection class event
NetConnection.Connect.Success and then this something would create the
mic and the recorder instances.
I can not tie any creation of new instances of the recorder and mic class
to the NetConnection.Connect.Success because this conn class will be
used in other projects and it's not always that i would need them.
thanks,
rodrigo.

Is foo the Document class in your .fla? If so, you can just call the
instance name from that class.

RE: [Flashcoders] access a mc in stage from a class
Of course I agree with Jason.
Another option in this case is not using the Document class (which is the
best practice), but in your first frame at the top of your actionscript,
something like this:
var myFoo:Foo = new Foo();
