accessing cocos2d children

so i have code like this

CCLabelTTF *label = [CCLabelTTF labelWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", SomeString] fontName:@"Marker Felt" fontSize:25];
[SomeClassVar addChild:label];

Then i want to try to access it later on by -

[((SomeClass*)SomeTempClassVar).label color] = ccc3(255-pIntVal*150 ,255-pIntVal*55,255-pIntVal*50);

but i know that's not right as SomeClass doe开发者_开发知识库sn't have a label as part of it's class, rather it's a child... any help? thanks

I like to use tags. It works well in iterators and you can start at like 100 for some objects and have anything below that be a specific static object you might want to refer to. You could even use #define to do something like #define kMySprite 1.

[SomeClassVar addChild:label z:0 tag:1];

And later access it with:

[YourScene getChildByTag:1];
