and use a load movie into location script similar to flash so

Yes it is possible to use separate movie files (actually recommended for big projects) and a stub projector allows you to re-use the same DIR/DXR files for bot PC and MAC so long as you have a stub from each OS.

To simply open the next movie, use :
go to movie whichMovie


To open a new movie at a certain location:
go to frame whichFrame of movie whichMovie

The closest functionality in Director to Flash's load movie is the 'Linked Director Movie'.

You can import one Director movie into another as a linked file (just using File>Import). Make sure it is linked or you will get the media from the other file imported into your project.

LDMs are quite useful, but not fully supported, and there are a few quirks in the way they work. Search for 'LDM' on the group archives for more info. There is also a good article on DOUG (below)
