findDisplay does not find displays defined under RscTitles (even when they are visible).
To access those types of displays, assign the resource to a global variable during its onLoad event: e.g.
class RscTitles {
  class MyRsc {
     onLoad = "myDisplay = (_this select 0)";
     ...

You can then use the stored value as you would for regular dialogs, e.g.(myDisplay displayCtrl 1111) ctrlSetText "hello there");
