You can find the path of the movie one folder above folder i (which is where
your main movie will be) or you could save the trouble and just remember the
main movie path in a variable.

-- put this inside the script but outside the behavior used to navigate
global gMainMoviePath

-- inside the behavior that's used to navigate to a movie in folder i, put
this before your "go to...":
gMainMoviePath = the moviePath

Then when you want to return to the main movie just declare the global again
in that script and:

go to gMainMoviePath & "the name of your dir goes here in quotes"

Hi,

To jump to a movie in a subfolder called 'movies', you can use:
go to movie the moviePath & "movies\nameofMovie"

You can also use use the @ operator followed by the path structure with / \ or:
Search the @ pathname operator under the help file for examples but for now, here
are some:
Example 1: These are equivalent expressions that specify the file linkedFile, in
the subfolder bigFolder, which is in the current movie�s folder:
@:bigFolder:linkedFile
@\bigFolder\linkedFile
@/bigFolder/linkedFile

Example 2: These are equivalent expressions that specify the file linkedFile,
which is in the folder otherFolder. The otherFolder folder is in the folder one
level up from the current movie�s folder.
@::otherFolder:linkedFile
@\\otherFolder\linkedFile
@//otherFolder/linkedFile

So, you may use:
go to movie the moviePath & "@\\nameofMovie"
to go up a folder level and find movie 'nameofMovie'.
