It's not just Windows--you can run multiple instances of Director on the Mac, too. It seems totally logical to me to have two instances open, and copy from one to the other. You don't have to remember frame number, sprite channels, cast member names, etc. Unfortunately, I don't see how they could do it. When I try to copy a cast member from one instance to another, I get that message that it's open with write permission by another user. Or am I missing something?
