passing sprite info

[dthrasher90]

is it possible to pass a sprite with an physics system from one function to another?  Like i have spriteA with arcade physics enabled in file jsfile1.js.  and I have a state in gamestate.js.   How can I send that sprite with an active physics engine to the update function of gamestate.js

    update: function(rg, dt1){

      game.physics.arcade.collide(rg, dt1, this);


//end update brackt
},


// the below is in a separate file, called ona button press.

function runPlayMiddle(){


      playCount = +playCount;
      playCount += 1;
      console.log("playcount = ", playCount);

        if(playCount == 1){

          var ct = game.add.sprite(220, 220, 'ct');
          ct.scale.setTo(0.03);
          // this.game.physics.arcade.enable(ct, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);


        } else{

          var ct = game.add.sprite(newBallSpotx, 220, 'ct');
          ct.scale.setTo(0.03);
          // this.game.physics.arcade.enable(ct, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);
        }


      runningPlaysDownChecker();

      Base43Defense(ct);


       var QBx = ct.x - 20;
       var QBy = ct.y;
       var qb = this.game.add.sprite(QBx, QBy, 'qb');
       qb.scale.setTo(0.02);

       var RB1x = ct.x -70;
       var RB1y = ct.y;
       var rb1 = this.game.add.sprite(RB1x, RB1y, 'rb1');
       rb1.scale.setTo(0.02);
       var spriteTextRB1 = game.add.text(RB1x, RB1y, 'RB1', {
           font: '9px Press Start 2P'
       });

       var RGx = ct.x;
       var RGy = ct.y + 20;
       var rg = this.game.add.sprite(RGx, RGy, 'rg');
       rg.scale.setTo(0.03);
       var spriteTextRG = game.add.text(RGx, RGy, 'RG', {
           font: '9px Press Start 2P'
       });
       this.game.physics.arcade.enable(rg, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);



       var RTx = ct.x;
       var RTy = rg.y + 20;
       var rt = this.game.add.sprite(RTx, RTy, 'rt');
       rt.scale.setTo(0.03);
       var spriteTextRT = game.add.text(RTx, RTy, 'RT', {
           font: '9px Press Start 2P'
       });
       this.game.physics.arcade.enable(rt, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);


       var LGx = ct.x;
       var LGy = ct.y - 20;
       var lg = this.game.add.sprite(LGx, LGy, 'lg');
       lg.scale.setTo(0.03);
       var spriteTextLG = game.add.text(LGx, LGy, 'LG', {
           font: '9px Press Start 2P'
       });
       this.game.physics.arcade.enable(lg, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);
       lg.body.velocity.x = + 25;


       var LTx = ct.x;

The velocities in the above example work, but i cannot get it to update
