shoul work in flash 5 as well. You can use "/" or "." . relative or absolute like
_root.instance.anAction;

Hopes this helps

i think it translates to _parent.movieclipname, but i'm not too sure, since i've not done f4.

.. is now _parent. (alternatively u can use _root for absolute paths)
/ is now .

Switch as soon as possible. They are going to drop the slashsyntax in the future. Is it already known exactly when ?
