One way would be to bring the text from all the files into an external
cast--one page, one member. Name the members after the movies & frame, and
when you find the word you're searching for, build the movie name from that
member. For example, your cast members would be named "Movie1 marker1",
"Movie1 marker2" etc.
Something like this (untested)--I'll use the old syntax since I don't know
which version of Director you're using. Oh, and watch for line breaks your
e-mail program puts in.
theCast = castLib "movieText"
numMembers = the number of members in theCast
wordFound = FALSE
repeat with i = 1 to numMembers
theText = the text of member i of theCast
numWords = the number of words in theText
repeat with j = 1 to numWords
if word j of theText = searchWord then
theMemberName = the name of member i of theCast
theMovie = word 1 of theMemberName
theFrame = word 2 of theMemberName
wordFound = TRUE
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end repeat
if wordFound then go to frame theFrame of movie theMovie
Of course, this makes a big assumption--that there are no repeated words in
your text, or that you include only non-repeating keywords.
You'll probably have to fix some bugs in my code--it's off the top of my
head, and I've been bald for 25 years.
