AUI undefined after liferay upgrade

[Pat Peg]

First, I have to say that I am not impressed with liferay but it is what the client wanted. With that being said, we did a simple upgrade from 6.1 to 6.2 and suddenly I am getting errors such as "AUI is undefined" and "one is undefined". This is in a popup and the parent page appears to work with AUI. I have tried "window.parent" and "window.parents" with minimal improvements. I am not even sure what else to be looking for at this point. I've updated and included the tld/aui. What could be going wrong.

function <portlet:namespace />respondMessage(A)
{

	
	alert("Response Sent");
	var url = "<portlet:resourceURL id='respondMessage'><portlet:param name='action' value='respondMessage' /></portlet:resourceURL>";
	var screenName = A.one(ns+"screenName").get("value");
	var submittedId = A.one(ns+"submittedId").get("value");
	url += "&<portlet:namespace />screenName="+screenName;
	url += "&<portlet:namespace />submittedId="+submittedId;


    A.io.request(url, {
	         method : 'POST', 
			 form: {id: '<portlet:namespace />myFeedbackResponseForm'},
	         on: {	        	
	                success: function() {	 
	                	<portlet:namespace />displayFeedbackMessages(A);
	        	    A.one(ns+'respondContent').html(this.get('responseData'));
	              },
	          on: {
	       	   		failure: function() {
	       	        alert("Request Failure");
	       	       }
	       	  }
	         }
		 });		
    
}
window.parents.AUI().use('node', 'event', 'button', function (A) {	
	

	A.one(ns+'respondButton').on('click', function(event){ 	
		alert("Boom 2");
		var strconfirm = confirm("Are you sure you want to send message?");
		if (strconfirm == true) {
			<portlet:namespace />respondMessage(A);
		
		  }
	  });  
	});
