External as2 userDrawingTablet into as3

Question

created a tablet where the user could draw on the pad. i did it a while ago using actionscript 2. now i'm loading it externally into as3. when placed in as3 it seems to be confused as to where the tablet is and draws only on the bottom right and off the page. also have a text function that is not working properly either.
kind of a random application and random problem, but not sure where else to go with this...
was just wondering if anyone had done this and had a similar problem?
thanx

"submitter" is a movie clip on the main timeline. this code is inside submitter layed out with a mc named "blackboard". blackboard has a mc named "innerBlackboard" inside of it.
blackboard.clearChalk = function():Void {
    var cl = this._parent._parent.chalkLine;
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("chalkLayer", 0);
    this.chalkLayer.lineStyle(cl.thickness, cl.color, cl.alpha);
    this.drawings = [];
blackboard.clearText = function():Void {
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("textLayer", 10);
    this.textfields = [];
