Access seekbar handle (SeekBar component) with AS3

My big question is how to access the instance of the “SeekBarHandle” of the seekbar component which is created at runtime?

I have a AS3 project (flashplayer 9) with a FLVPlayback component and custom FLV controls, partially build from standard FLV control components (play/pause component, stop component, seekbar component, volumecontrol component). The FLV control components are added at ‘root’ level of the project.

What I’m trying to do is to switch the visiblity of the custom FLV controls where the seekbar and volumebar are the party poopers because of the on runtime created handle bars.

I read many many threads about people trying to access the instances of the handle bars but for the most of us out there with no luck. I know that the instance of the handle bar is created at the same level as the instance of the seekbar component but I can’t trace/access/find the instance of the handle bar.

NOTE: I don’t want to add the seekbar component to a container mc/sprite because of the changing width of the seekbar. When I do it’s disformed because by the scaling of the parent.

Mostly I read that the instance name of the handle is ‘handle_mc’ but that’s not the case in my/a AS3 project(?). Same as the AS2 solution to access the object with ‘_level0.handle_mc’ (at root level like in my situation). The handle is created and is visible on stage but when I’m trying to trace it in the display list it’s not there?

Can someone please enlighten me how to access this bugger?!
