_lockroot not working?!?!?!?

I can’t get _lockroot to work.

I’ve tried it in a projector movie that is loading in another SWF (and it’s this second one that I want to maintain the paths for). I’ve tried using it in an onClipEvent(load) in the projector attached to the target MC that the other SWF is loading into, I’ve tried adding it to the first frame of the other SWF (which is now located in a subdirectory but it wasn’t originally, hence my need to maintain its status as “root” when it looks for other things to load in).

I just can’t get it to work. Is there another way to do this???
