Well, I am using pre-existing XML files that are used with a web-based
application, hence the forward slahes. A duplicate copy of the images
the XML was referencing are included in the same directory as the movie,
so I was just setting the fileName of the member to the moviePath & the
relative path XML string. It allowed me to do it just fine without the
"@". However, I think this was my needed ray of light. It makes
absolute (or is that relative) sense.

I'm absolutely sure of the results in the message window. Here is a
simple test (with the "@" it works fine):
on startMovie
put member("TestFName").fileName
member("TestFName").fileName = "images/test.jpg"
put member("TestFName").fileName
end
Output:
-- "C:\Temp\top_light.jpg"
-- "C:\Temp\images/test.jpg"
Even the PI shows it as "C:\Temp\images/test.jpg" and if you click on
the little "..." button, Director ignores it until you fix the path.
So, my lessen for today is: don't try and program when your brain is
fried.

Insert witty quip here.
