You can use _lockroot to target content as a way to solve the scoping issues sometimes associated with the inappropriate use of _root. Although this solves many problems with applications, consider _lockroot as a work-around for problems caused by using _root. If you experience problems loading content into a SWF file or a component instance, try applying _lockroot to a movie clip that loads the content. For example, if you have a movie clip called myClip loading content, and it stops working after it is loaded, try using the following code, which is placed on a timeline:
this._lockroot = true;
