Access a function of an instantiated prefab
I have an instance of a prefab. That prefab has a script attached. I want to access to a function of that script. How do I do that?
I instantiated the prefab as this: Instantiate(prefab,transform.position,Quaternion.identity);

var clone : prefabType ; //Transform, Rigidbody, whatever it is that you have for ur prefab slot eg prefab : Rigidbody ;
clone = Instantiate(prefab, yourposition, yourrotation) ;
var cloneScript : NameOfScript ;
cloneScript = clone.gameObject.GetComponent(NameOfScript) as NameOfScript ;
cloneScript.FunctionNameInItImTryingToDo() ;
The prefab has already attached the script as a component... they will still be linked with that code?
This code doesn't attach a script to anything, it gets a script that is already attached to the instantiated game object ; so yes, it links to the attached script.
var clone --> makes the instantiated prefab an accessible variable.
var cloneScript --> is a variable to hold a certain script, and we give it its value by accessing 'clone's gameObject and getting a component (the script) from it.
