Answer 1

Have you looked at any of the getChild.. methods?

Does this help?

Answer 2

The problem of your code is children of myCanvas1 are not visual components and this declaration has no sense. You shouldn't put your animations, effects and transitions into visual container. That's all what I can say about your question :)
