that's way works. did try suggestion posted previous
thread? here, i'll expand on you.

do not replace 'the moviepath' in below example. use way it's
written. note movie script cannot placed anywhere in score.

-- movie script
on startmovie
searchpaths = [the moviepath, moviepath &"mov"]
end

that cause projector in same folder , in
sub folder called mov.

projector.exe
mov\movie.mov

however, seems "\mov\movie.mov" path may want go
the way root of drive, down mov folder.
be easier if mov folder in same folder projector,
let know if that's not case.

more details on searchpaths available in docs.
