Beware that EaselJS elements aren't DOM elements.

Supposing you want to remove an element by its id, I'd suggest this :

function removeElementById(container, id) {
   for (var i=container.getNumChildren(); i-->0;) {
       if (container.getChildAt(i).id===id) {
            container.removeChildAt(i);
            return true;
       }
   }
   return false;
}

But using the id might not be the best architectural solution. In my EaselJS program I keep a reference to the objects themselves so that I don't have to search them.
