Drag & Drop Functionality Doesn't Work in External SWF?

Question

Hi all,
I'm currently a TA for a Flash course at my school.  We're using AS 2.0 and working with external SWFs.
I think this might be pretty simple to remedy.  Well, at least I'm hoping!
A student is having trouble with drag & drop functionality when it  is used in an external SWF.  Basically, in our drag & drop section,  we have a sheet of paper ("paper" MC) and an object we drag into it  ("object" MC).  When the object is released in the paper area, we go to  frame 2 of "paper" MC, which consequently has an animation.
This works fine and dandy in said drag & drop section, but once the  drag & drop section is loaded into our main SWF via a MC  placeholder, the drag & drop functionality stops working.
Here is the URL to the drag & drop section by itself:
http://www.phayzed.com/flashkit/drag_for_animation.swf
and here is the URL to the main swf, which loads the drag & drop SWF into a movieclip and causes it to work incorrectly:
http://www.phayzed.com/flashkit/main.swf
Now here is the code on the draggable object ("object" MC):
on (press) {
        startDrag (this, true);
on (release) {
        stopDrag ();
        if (this._droptarget == "/paper") {
                _parent.paper.gotoAndStop(2);
                _parent.object._visible=false;
If any more info is needed, I'm willing to upload both FLA files.   Although, something tells me that this is a simple issue to resolve.
Thanks a lot for any help!!!
Cheers

with as2 you must convert that antiquated as1 code:
on (press) {
        startDrag (this, true);
on (release) {
        stopDrag ();
        if (eval(this._droptarget) == _parent.paper) {
                _parent.paper.gotoAndStop(2);
                _parent.object._visible=false;
