If you aren't already doing this, create a castlib that is shared by all your movies - that is, make all movies link to the same external castlib file. Then move your filmstrip and (assuming that the code is in a behavior) the associated behavior into the shared castlib. Then copy the sprite 5 from your main movie and paste it into each of the new movies.

Hello List,
I have a project where a film strip of images serves as the background. When a user selects a menu item the filmstrip slides to that image. There are 10 areas to choose from and 11 images in the filmstrip (an image for the main menu). I currently have the film strip working as it should in one movie, but I need to break the project up into multiple movies.
Currently, I have one large image (5600x540) in sprite(5) that is a linked member in 'main.dcr'. My user interface has a main menu, from the main menu you can go to any of the 10 areas. Upon arriving at an area you can navigate to the next/previous area or go back home. The image slides relative to its current location.
How can I get the filmstrip functionality over multiple movies? Appreciate any suggestions.
tia, Todd
