This question is somewhat related to 3V3's question three postings down...

I am trying to build a portfolio cd - the main presentation movie / platform is itself a dir movie, which has button links to launch other director projector projects (my portfolio items). Admittedly, both the presentation movie and the projector projects are a bit hefty in megabitage, so I'm wanting when I click to launch the projector, the main portfolio dir dumps from memory (and/or dissapears, but I'd rather it be in the background). This is the code I've tried to put in on the button to launch the projector, but although the .exe will launch and play, the frame rate is wrong and bogs down-ruining the fps ...and my presentation is not disapearing and I suspect the memory is not dumping. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! I keep throwing lingo at it and I must be missing something. I really don't want to scrap it and try to have my presentation platform movie in Flash or VB. (this will eventually be put on CD)


on mouseUp me
puppetSound 3, member "Click"
pathToInstaller = the moviePath & "PCHcc" & "\"
pathToInstaller = pathToInstaller & "PCH.exe"
open pathToInstaller

pathToMovieMe = the moviePath & "MGResume.dir"
unloadMovie pathToMovieMe
forget Window pathToMovieMe
close Window pathToMovieMe

if it matters, here's the script on the frame where the button is:
on exitFrame
updatestage
go to the frame
end

PLEASE HELP - I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

Let me clarify -- actually the presentation movie is itself a projector, so i'm really trying to launch a projector within a projector, but unload / close the first projector
