Note: I just saw a movie working perfectly fine which would
      respond tre to isAS3(). It's on top of
      http://parlamento.openpolis.it/
      Specifically:
http://op_openparlamento_resources.s3.amazonaws.com/swf/intro-openparlamento-ti-ci.swf

That said, I belive you don't want to use isAS3 but actual execution
of an ABC block, if any. This wouldn't prevent you from overlaying
a movie over something that would otherwise work, but might reduce
such occurrences. Also, you wouldn't be only checking the root movie
but every movie being loaded.

Finally, rather than handling this all in ::display you might want
to put your overlay in a level or add an ad-hoc additional item
to be rendered at the end of all levels, specifically made
to allow messaging to user.
