opening linked movie

[alg525]

I'm having difficulty opening a linked movie. On a navigation button I put the
script
go to movie "2"
but I get an error message saying that movie cannot open because it is in
"write permission by another user." But I'm not on a network and that other
movie isn't open at the same time.
I have several other linked movies whose navigation work fine. It's just this
one that won't work.
Any ideas?

If you indeed have another director movie imported as a linked externa
movie castmember, there may be an access lock preventing a regular go to
movie until you close the stage movie containing it.


you could change the filename property of the movie member to another
placeholder file that shound free up the original linked movie.

Is that movie also imported as linked into a castLib? If so, there's no
need to do that. Just delete it from your castLib.
