I have never tries to import a .dir file into another one. But I guess
what You want to do is to play different movies at the same time in
different windows. Thats called MIAW (movie in a window) and You use the
tell command to communicate, eg
tell window "myWindow" to do something
or in case of the other direction:
tell the stage to do something
Also, global variables are the same through different movies. If you
play movie "1" and set a global, movie "2" can read the global and react
to it (depending on your scripts of course)
3rd, you could use external cast members to transport information from
one movie to another
best regards, florian
