Accessing a dynamically created control

Question

I have  created a method inside a class to create a combobox. here is my code
package com.inf
import mx.controls.*;
public class ClsInf
  public function ClsInf()
public function addDistDrp(source):void{
var objDist:ComboBox=new ComboBox();
  objDist.id="cmbDist";
  source.addChild(objDist);
in my AS file  I wrote
var objInf:ClsInf=new ClsInf();
objInf.addDistDrp(myTargetId);
here I am able to create the combobox. But Now My problem is here how access the combobox so that I can fill data, disable it, set style inti it etc.
suppose if I have to set a style into it . I am trying to access it by its ID like
cmbDist.styleName="clearButton2"
which showing error. how can I access . Pls Help!

Thanks Adrian, This is working if I am calling the addDistDrop method directly But here is a twist . Inside that class I have written one more method ie
public function createNavBar(source,type):void{
   switch(type)
    case "Dist":
     addStateBtn(source);
     addDistDrp(source);
     break;
    case "Block":
     addStateBtn(source);
     addDistDrp(source);
     addBlockDrp(source);
     break;   
    default:
    addStateBtn(source);
and inside actionscript I have written
var objInf:ClsInf=new ClsInf()
var strType:String="Block";   
objInf.createNavBar(myTargetId,strType);
so here how can I get the cmbDist combobox
