I'm trying to get the directory above the moviePath, and my brain is in vaporlock.
I thought I could get it with pPath = @//the moviePath, but Director is choking on that, and every variation I can think of.
That's because @/ already IS the moviepath. And the moviePath returns a string with the system's folder delimiters.
If you want to go up a directory to a file, you'd do
@//someFile.txt
...or a folder:
@//someFolder/
Does that help?
