Are there any caveats to opening one Director projector from another Director projector?
Shouldn't be, unless you count things like running out of memory. If Xtras are bundled, you'd have to test to make sure they properly got unpacked and deleted afterward, but that's about all.
Could anything like global or local variables or xtras get accidentally cross referenced?
No, they have their own process space.
And is there a way to have one executable send another executable a sendSprite or other command? I know about buddyAPI's baSendKeys but the parameters seem to be just integers, where I'd ideally like to send another projector a string. Is this possible?
There are lots of different ways, depending on how often they need to communicate. You can use files to pass info back and forth, you can probably find some Xtra somewhere - depends whether you're talking multiple times a second or only once in a great while.
