Victor,
If you are actually talking about two separate projectors, that's a
different question.
If you are talking about one projector (the projector is the runtime
engine) and two movies, that's something else.
Director has the ability to run one movie and then chain over to another
movie (go to "movie"). OR, it can sort of temporarily run another movie
and return (play "movie" / play done). OR, it can launch a second movie in
a separate window (MIAW - Movie In A Window).
If you are transferring from one to another, or temporarily running the
other, you can make it go to a particular frame, or you can use global
variables to pass information around and share them between the movies, but
only one movie will be running at a time.
If you are talking about having a MIAW running simultaneously - basically
two movies running - then the "tell" command is used to give instructions
to the other window. Global variables are also shared between windows.
So, you could tell the movie to set an internal variable, or you could just
set the global yourself, or you could invoke a handler at the movie. What
is most appropriate depends on your architecture and what you're trying to
accomplish.
