Hi Jon, Appreciate the response, but I have figured it out. The flas I was using had 'Automatically declare stage instances' checked, while the fla I was needing to work in did not have it checked. This was a real stumper, and it didn't help that the checkbox was hidden under Publish Settings ->Flash->Actionscript 3.0 Settings.
