playing a director movie within a director movie

[MarFox]

I have created an interactive project(call it "a&quot in Director and would like to play a director movie i have already finished(call it "b&quot within the larger, interactive movie. I've been unable to find a script that will allow me to play "b" within a certain number of frames in "a". Now "b" is an interactive movie in itself, with music as well. How can i allow a user to view and navigate thru "b" and then return to "a" while still stopping the background music in "b"?
After looking through these forums i figured i could possibly link the 2 files in a projector and using the [play movie "b"] script go to "b", but then how could i get back to a particular frame number in "a"?
I hope i have been as clear as possible, it sounds more complicated than it really is. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

If you use

play

to play the movie “b” from “a”, then you can use

play done

when the movie “b” is finished.

play done

will send the playhead back to the frame + 1 where

play

was called in the movie “a”.

That is the theory, however

play

and

play done

sometimes do not work properly. I would store the frame number to go back to in a global variable - this is the most reliable way.
