Thomas:
So...lastIndexOf() is in MX2004? I didn't think it actually had js
methods in it. I only thought it was the *syntax* of js. That's worth
a few bonus points.

Forgive me, but I'm not sure what you mean by "reset of the message."
But here's what I did anyway, and for my purposes, this works. It opens
a MIAW from a dir file with linked cast members by finding the dir used
for the MIAW in the same folder as the currently linked cast member.
on mMIAW(me, theFileName, theWidth, theHeight) -- ex:
("serviceInterruption",200,200)
global gMIAW
gMIAW = window(theFileName)
gMIAW.windowType = 2
-- figure the file path to the MIAW director file
theCastPath = castLib(gTools.pCurrentCast).fileName
thePos = offset(gTools.pCurrentCast, theCastPath)
theChopOff = integer(thePos + gTools.pCurrentCast.length)
theNewPath = theCastPath.char[1..(theChopOff)] & theFileName
gMIAW.filename = theNewPath
gMIAW.titleVisible = FALSE
-- figure the rect of the window and center it...
theL = integer((pScreenData.pScreenW - theWidth)/2)
theT = integer((pScreenData.pScreenH - theHeight)/2)
gMIAW.rect = rect(theL, theT, (theL + theWidth), (theT + theHeight))
window(theFileName).open()
end
