I'm not sure if this is your problem, but the only time I've found that you HAVE to include an external cast in the projector is if it contains elements that are present in frame 1 of your timeline. If the elements in an external cast aren't present on the main timeline until after frame 1, it should just load normally without needing to be included in the projector. Could this be your problem?
