How would I access a library item (movieClip) using actionscript to say change
the size. For example, I have a movieClip named zoomer1 with the linkage of
zoom. Is there any way I can access this with actionscript to change the size
and such?

You access it by the name it has when placed on the stage (its instance
name) .. not by its library name.

So does this mean if I load something into the scrollpane ie:
scroll1.contentPath = "zoom" // zoom is the linkage name of my movieClip in
the library zoomer1
How can I refer to that movieClip zoomer1 without having it on the stage? Is
there not a way? I'd just like to scale the clip but I cannot figure out how
to access it.
