attaching a Flycam to an object

ok so i want to attach a flycam behind my spacecraft. I have loaded the geometry into the scene previously:

starship = THREE.SceneUtils.addMesh( scene, geometry, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1.0, 0.0, m );

but i think starship is just a copy of mesh i loaded, and i need a pointer to the object in the scene stack. In order to set its new position matrix.

                           //get the position of the fly camera
            var  position = new THREE.Matrix4;
            position = camera.matrix;   
            //set a translation to move the point infront of the camera
            translation = new THREE.Matrix4;
            translation.setTranslation(0,100,1000);
            //multiply the two matrices together
            result = new THREE.Matrix4;
            result.multiply(position,translation); 

I am guessing this wont work: starship.matrix.copy(result); starship.updateMatrix();

Should i approach it through the scene objects like this? i seem to get an error…

            scene.objects[0].matrix.copy(result);
            scene.objects[0].updateMatrix();

Thanx again.

addChild() is now simply add().
