Okay - can you store a reference to the loaded content that you can use
to access it later, either as an instance variable or in an array?

It's possible that because the content property is the root class of the
loaded swf that you have to set the name property of your document class.
parent.swf
Loader.load(child.swf)
child.swf
this.name = "MyName";
Maybe that is what you need to do. I'm going to run a test to find out

There is no need to cast. The Loader.content property is defined as a
DisplayObject -
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/display/Loader.html#content

Loader.content is a DisplayObject. DisplayObject have a .name property
function onComplete(loadEvent:Event):void {
var loadedContent = loadEvent.target.content;
loadedContent.name = "MyName";
addChild(loadedContent);
}

P.S. this is all right in as3 livedocs... Not that this is for you
specifically Ted, but more people need to learn how to read the
documentation.
