Ignoring scope of _root level functions is fine. Ignoring duplication of
efforts is not. You can always wrap your functions in a class in 5 minutes.
Removing duplication in code, however, takes way longer and may cause
unforseen problems if not solved early enough.

Okay- actually I like that approach. I had seen you do part of that in a

What aren't you comfortable with? Some don't like extending the timeline,
and do something like:
class MyController
{
private var view:MovieClip;
function MyController ( mc:MovieClip )
{
view = mc;
}
}
And then on _root;
controller = new MyController(this);

I wouldn't have such a class loop to keep checking the dropshadow. There
really is no need. The dropshadow is always rendered from the visible part
of a MC. So if the MC is resized then it too resizes.
