Using Action Script 2.0 CS4.

I have a flash crossword.swf that I am loading into my main movie which I will call “Home.swf”. It loads it just fine but the crossword is accessing \_Root to populate the data in the crossword puzzle. For example \_Root.inputD3\_MC.\_x = 130 is the code that is used. I found that putting the crossword in the root level works just fine. However, I would like to be able to put the crossword into a separate MC within Home.swf. When this is done the information is trying to access the \_root level which no longer houses the data. I would like it to pull from the timeline that it is located in. Please help! Thanks!
