Easy going to other movie, but how to get back?

I´m using the "go to marker_x of movie_y" command to jump from one projector to a different movie. and works like a charm, problem is when trying to return to the first movie (projector.exe), if I use "go to marker of movie", at the time the projector is made, i can jump to the second movie, but when trying to go back the program ignores the .exe file and prompts for the original .dir even if they share the same name and I omit the extension when coding the script, what gives?

I'm not usin the "jump to movie" behavior that comes with director because it usually gets confused after one jump, eg: I'm going from movie A to B, and from there to C, D, or back to B. so far so good, but then I need to get back to A from B, C, D... at this point the projector.exe file is ignored.

I hope I made myself clear, please if anyone understand my rambling post some advice.
 
The easy way arround this it to make a launcher app, a blank movie with only the code to jump to your first file (currently your .exe). Make that your exe file. When you run it your real first file loads but you can jump from file to file no problem, you can also edit your first file without needed to make a new .exe file, saves lots of time in the long run.
