Can't access CCNode as child of scene

Question

I'm very new to the spriteBuilder and cocos2d, which means I'm fairly certain I am doing something wrong... I just don't know what.

I've added a CCNode into a "level-scene" that I load as a child scene to my "gameplay scene", but I can't seem to figure out how to reference the CCNode that is in the level scene.

Kind of like this:

Gameplay scene (CCScene) Level1 scene (CCScene) Target (CCNode)

And then in my code I do:

gameplay = [CCBReader loadAsScene:@"Levels/Level1"];

And then I want to get the position of my target which I've placed inside the Level. How would I do that? It has a "doc root var" but I can only access that inside a custom "target"-class. How do I access that inside gameplay? This bit of code gives me {0, 0} when run from gameplay but {393, 193} when run inside the target class.

NSLog(@"Target pos = %@", NSStringFromCGPoint(_target.position));

I am sorry if this is confusing, I'll try to make it clearer. And sorry if it's a stupid question, I am just getting started.

Thanks for any and all help.

Edit: Logging [self children] on gameplay gives:

("<CCSprite = 0x993e670 | Rect = (0.00,0.00,500.00,281.50) | tag =  | atlasIndex = -1>",

Answer 1

I solved it. It seemed that since I had a hierarchy like this: gamePlay->levelNode->level1

I had to do this to set my target:

_target = [[levelNode getChildByName:@"level1" recursively:false] getChildByName:@"target" recursively:false];

Seems to have solved it for now atleast. :)
