I doubt it, copying a cast member from a .dir to another always involved 
the director instance where you paste the thing to shortly open the source 
file in the background because the clipboard only has a reference to the 
member :

Macromedia Director cast from:
D:\projekte\VH_Praes\b_aaa.dir
1 cast members 40:swa_dummi to 40:swa_dummi

what you can do is copy the content of certain member types, ie select/copy 
a bitmap in the paint window

You could scan score data into a large list of score cell properties, 
export that list as a text file and rebuild the score in another director 
version with scorerecording.
Quite easy, the crux with this are the castlibs. Of course you can new() 
dummy members in dummy castlibs on the fly to make sure the rebuilt score 
has valid references, but exporting/reimporting the real contents is 
another thing.
