Reverse addchild

Hi

I have loaded in an image and with addChild i have added it to the movie clip and this works for example:- mc.addChild(loadedContent).

Now if i want to move or scale the loadedContent data that was added to mc after it has been added, what is the best way to do this?

The way I would normally do this would be loadedContent.x = 10 for example but the variable loadedContent only exists within the function. Is there a way to read the data back then add it back to the mc

Thanks
Colin
